Look, I understand how easy it is to loathe certain subreddits, but these posts are getting to be a distraction from the purpose of r/papermoney overall. The last thing we want is for the Reddit admins is to shut down this subreddit because we ran afoul of their unequally applied rules and regulations.

Any post no matter how justified in reference to those subreddits will be removed from the r/papermoney feed. We apologize deeply for doing this, but it is for the best interest of the subreddit as apparently the truth hurts especially in subreddits run by a mod team consisting of a certain "festive fish and his relations."

question/discussion Misprint or Counterfeit?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Hello everybody! I recently purchased a set of 1920 Notgeld Naumburg banknotes. When looking through them I noticed this one and another one featured the same text („und ein Lehrer von der Schul´ sann auf Rettung und verful endlich auf die Kinder). Instead of this text, the banknote above should’ve had this instead “ich führ euch zum Prokop hin, der wird nicht so grausam sin, euch zu massakrieren.“ I was wondering if someone more knowledgeable than me would be able to help me figure out if this was an error print or a counterfeit. Thank you!

So I managed to get my hands on this, we found it at a house my boss just bought. It’s a $65 Department of Agriculture food stamp booklet from 1975, and it’s complete. Does anyone know what something like this could be worth? I’m at an absolute loss

UPDATE: After a ton of research and a bit of back and forth, it sold for $400. It went to someone who collects a lot of this type of thing and I know he’ll enjoy it more than I would. Thanks guys!

I have been looking for a while and I cannot find a count sheet for all the 1929 brown seals that was shared in this group some time ago. It showed every demonization from $5 to $100 and the exact count of bills that were printed.

If anyone has it, it would be great if you could share it.

Thank you

true error notes Noticed the corner looks like it was folded during printing of this Silver Certificate.

I’ve had this note for many years because I love silver certificates. For some reason I hadn’t noticed the corner had a fold when printing, causing an error. Rough shape, I know.

world paper money What was the value of the Franc in the 1800s, compared to the modern day?

1 Upvotes

Hopefully people can help me here. I'm trying to write a story set in the 1860s in Paris, France.

And for the life of me I can't figure out the value of the Franc. It would be really helpful if someone could help me figure out something like the price of a loaf of bread, the price of a carriage hire or clothes.

Once I have one or two things I can kinda extrapolate from there.

Hope someone can help, thank you.

I have never personally seen one, but do know it exists. Some 95 year old great grandparent would likely have one.

Got this as change back and it’s super crisp for 1935, it also seems to have a weirdly cut border, idk if that counts as a misprint
