Vintage German paper money issued in 1922 by the central bank in 10,000 mark denomination.  In the late 1800's Germany still had 31 central banks across all its de-centralized provinces.  The Reichstag consolidated them into just four by the early 1900's, and the centralized German Reichsbank issued this bank note in 1922.  It was an attempt by the Weimar Republic - the post World War I German government - to stabilize the economy, which had begun to suffer hyperinflation as it attempted to recover from the costs of war and reparations.  This period of hyperinflation lasted from 1921 to 1924 and contributed to the unrest that led to the rise of the Nazi party.  During hyperinflation the mark's value amounted to a small number with dozens of zeros in front of it.  Now, some 90 years later, the Behntaufend Mark can garner $20 to $30 dollars as a vintage collectible.

In one chamber, a solemn statue of Christ is surrounded by candles and flowers, adding to the spiritual ambiance.

London, England - September 24, 2012: An old 1922 German banknote for 10,000 marks, sometimes known as the 'Vampire' note because when viewed sideways, it appears as if a vampire is biting the neck of the man (it is not easy to see at first): the engraving is Albrecht Durers Portrait of a Young Man but was slightly altered by the banknote engraver to show this so-called vampire apparently sucking the lifeblood out of the German economy with the reparations imposed after World War One. The 10,000 mark note was first issued in 1922 in a time of spiralling inflation.
