3rd Reich banknotes

Hey all. I wanted to ask about 3rd Reich bank notes. How common are these? I think I'd like to go out and get one if they're pretty reasonably priced.

Anybody have any for sale perhaps? Are these typically available on eBay? I know they try to limit anything with swats or any semi-controversial symbols.

Thanks.

Most types are pretty common in Europe, I've been able to buy both German occupied territories notes from the Nazi era and Wehrmacht military notes for really cheap prices (think 2-5 euro each).

As for German notes, there were only two types* issued in 1939-42 (look at Pick # 185-186) under the Nazi regime; a 5 and 20 Reichsmark note. The 5 is pretty cheap, think a few euros, but the 20 is scarcer and usually only found in higher grades. Think from 15 euro upwards for that one.

I see plenty of both for sale on Ebay all the time: https://www.ebay.fr/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=allemagne+1939+billet&_sacat=0


*Pick # 180-184 were a series that was technically also issued under Nazi regime, but the first three lower denominations of 10, 20 (issued 1929) and 50 RM (issued 1933) were issued before they consolidated their hold on the government. Thus only the 1935-36 issues of 100 and 1000 RM bear a lithographed swastika background motif.

Well, the Third Reich was 1933-1945, which means that notes printed during these year are from the Third Reich (or more commonly known as Nazi Germany). Which means that these should be considered as Third Reich notes, since they were printed in 1937. They don't bear the Nazi Coat of Arms though.

​Yes, you are correct. I scrolled right past the Rentenbank issues on that reference page! They are Pick# 173 and 174.

That's what comes from not having your listings in chronological order.

​i noticed too that they're not in chronological order, which is weird..and on wikipedia it says that the currency of the third reich was reichsmark, but they also had, apparently, rentenmark..but they list both rentenmark and reichsmark as currencies of the weimar republic, though..

The Rentenmark was the legal tender currency of Germany for a few months between November 1923 (when it replaced the hyperinflation-riddled Papiermark) and August 1924 IIRC.

After August 1924 the Reichsmark replaced it as the "official" German currency, although Rentenmark coins and notes continued to circulate alongside Reichsmark coins and notes up until 1948 when both were demonetised by the Allies after WWII.

​but, why replace a currency with another, but still keep printing the replaced one more than a decade later? cuz my 1 and 2 rentenmarks were printed in 1937..why not give them the denomination in reichsmark? (i know you don't have the answer, i'm just thinking out loud..)

The Rentenmark was from 1923 to 1948 a mortgage-based transition currency in Germany.
In October 1923 the German Rentenbank was founded.
For the benefit of Deutsche Rentenbank, real estate of agriculture, industry and commerce was forcibly occupied with mortgages and land charges.
The Rentenmark was "not a legal tender, but a bearer bond of Rentenbank" (according to Büsch).
Since the Rentenmark was not a legal tender, there was no legal obligation to accept it as a means of payment (but all public coffers had to accept it). Nevertheless, it was immediately accepted by the population. Inflation therefore stopped abruptly; one spoke of the miracle of the Rentenmark.

The Reichsmark was from 1924 to 1948 official means of payment in the German Reich.

​Those Weimar republic and Derde Reich banknotes are very common and easy to find in a good condition.
I collect them by mint (letter). Although they are very common they're beautiful too.
