I am very busy with banknotes from the Republic of China issued before 1950 and there are around 5175 catalogued of them according to the Shanghai Encyclopedia, however I am not as familiar with German and Austrian Notgeld and don't know any standard catalogues of them.
I know that during the 1920's a lot of German and Austrian towns started issuing "Notgeld" purely to cash in on banknote collectors so I would think that older catalogues in the public domain from the 1920's written by collectors must exist, right?
