I collect Notgeld (German money printed by independent states/cities/towns as emergency currency - see this wikipedia article for more info!)

This is from 1921, and is Serienscheine, so it was printed for collectors rather than for use as actual currency. Really great German expressionist artwork, although disturbing to think that this was printed for collectors when families like this actually were starving in Germany.
