Summary

1 September 1923 50 Million Mark. Printed about 2 months before the Hyperinflation problem in the Weimar Republic reached its peak in November. Due to time and costs when the currency was being printed continuously, they skipped printing the backs of the currency and simply left them blank. In 1914 would have been worth appriximately $12 Million US, 9 years later when printed was approximately equal to $1US, and entirely worthless a few weeks later.
