hi all. i found these 3 German paper bills behind our kitchen walls while renovating. there is a 20 heller, 50 heller, and a 75 pfennig
20h:
church on front stamped in green ink with flowers on either side of picture. also words "gemeinde nussdorf am attersee
on back the words "gemeinde nussdorf am attersee - gutschein uber zwanzig heller dieser schein wird bis 30 november 1920 von der gemeinde nussdorf eingelost. nachahmung wird bestraft. nussdorf. am 1. agust 1920 der burgermeister - anton wiestger
50h:
on front a picture of a town on a peninsula type coast area with a mountain in the background. and the words mondfee in oberofterr. and then some small print that i cant read.
on the back is a picture of a man and women working infront of a white blob that sort of looks like a topographic map type thing (it isnt) below that is the words mondfee in oberofterr again. to the right of that is a coat of arms with a typical shield shape with a sun/moon symbol at the top and below that is 3 men in 3 boats in water
75p(very strange):
on the front is a big red dog chasing two people, a man and woman, and in the background is a castle on a hill, with the entire mountain and building on fire. also the words nach reinem tode ging er drum als kettenhund zur grmfe um-3
on the back isa picture of a fortress on the coast which is in the shape of a big red star, with another smaller star in the middile with a town inside of it, and a regular town to the left across the water. tjere os a;sp tje words "vestungh:vechta(e? its sort of an A with 3 lines trailing off of it)to the left of it is a seal with gates to a castle in the center, and around it in a circle is vechte-1591+s'civitatis. at the bottom of the bill is "die sufhgheit __cantread___ 2 monat nach offentf aufkundig. vectsta-14 marz 1922 der magiftcat. in fine print at the bottom is "louis koch-halberstadt

Crazy hyper-inflation! Heard they had to pay people on the hour as the exchange rate was so volatile. To buy a loaf of bread one often needed a wheelbarrow full of banknotes - heard that one of them left unattended was stolen and the pile of banknotes dumped on the ground!
