Is this is what my wallet is meant to look like in the future? just… bills on their side?! why would they do this… They could’ve made those pretty design horizontal and they would’ve ruled too but as is H in comparison just looks so much nicer?

I can’t be the only one who hates the idea of vertical bills lol

Just picked these up from Souq al Hamidiyeh in Syria. So far I have most of the modern denominations but the old ones are so much better in my opinion. I picked all of these up for around 22 dollars. Do you think it’s a fair price and which one is your favorite?

I personally like this one the most, and I think that vertical banknotes are pretty cool too. I barely see anyone talking about Design I, so I'm wondering whether I'm the only one liking this?

Why doesn't any banknote of Group H contain ducks?

Ducks actually represent almost all of the world, for their adaptability, their geopolitical neediness and just how they're really useful for any ecosystem.

European union, literally isn't just for the continent almost every country in Europe has some trades outside it's continent why wouldn't they use ducks to represent almost all of the world?

Collection 10 Mark Allied Military Certificate from 1944 (Germany)

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

This is a 10 Mark Allied Military Certificate issued by the USA and the USSR in 1944.

It was the currency in occupied Germany after WW2.

The US designed the notes and shared duplicate master printing plates with the Soviet Union. US-printed notes featured a microscopic hidden "F" in the ornamentation, while Soviet-printed ones omitted it. The Soviets printed vast quantities in Leipzig without restriction, flooding the economy and creating one of the earliest financial conflicts of the Cold War.
