5x WWII German banknotes issued to prisoners of war (\"Lagergeld\")

The Reichsmark was the German currency from 1924 until just after theend of the Second World War. OneReichsmark was subdivided into 100 Reichspfennig.

During the Second World War,special versions of Reichsmark and Reichspfennig banknotes were issued for useas internal currency in concentration camps and PoW camps to pay prisoners forwork. These notes could be used to buywhat limited goods and services were available inside the camps. This form of currency was known as Lagergeld. POW Lagergeld banknotes were smaller thanregular currency. They were also of muchsimpler design and were printed on one side of the paper only. Lagergeld was not valid outside the camps.

I have been selling off asmall quantity of Lagergeld banknotes that were brought home by a Britishsoldier who was a German captive during the war. This group and the other groupthat I have listed at the moment are the last that I have.

This group comprises fiveoriginal World War II issue One Reichspfennig Lagergeld notes. There is a separate hi-res scan of each note,so I hope will be able to make an accurate judgement of the condition. They range from a nice, clean crisp one to arather tatty example which has a small piece missing. The others three are somewhere inbetweenthese two.

Thenotes are both the same size, 3½ inches by 1¾ inches (85 x 46 mms).
