The Millionaire Look

Many years ago my grandmother gave me a bag of money to play with.
Unfortunately it was not worth anything then and I doubt it's worth anything now.
The money is from the time of the great inflation in Germany when it cost millions of Marks to buy a loaf of bread.
I don't know why my grandmother kept the money, but it was certainly more realistic for me to play bank with it rather than using Monopoly Money.
Not sure why I kept it either, except for the memories.

I love those rectangles in any colors and values.

Super selection for rectangles - I bet it's not worthless, I suspect it's worth more than you think!

Hyper-inflation has always fascinated me - I mean, gazillions of marks/pounds/dollars to buy a loaf of bread...how does that work? My poor little mind can't compute those sorts of amounts. This is a great little find Walter, you do like collecting the folding stuff, don't you??? :o)
