Post by: Nate on January 31, 2021, 10:02:44 AM: I thought i had a thread started here somewhere, but that may have a part of my imagination?

Regardless, ill make this one a sticky. Hopefully i wont forget?

If you have something pretty neat or cool to share that not many people know about, post it up for us all to take a gander at it.

Since your picture is probably intentionally blurred to make it a test.

Does look a touch European but will have to look.

Not blurry on purpose samm, you just have to zoom in.

Now being that I was there post Euro, I’m not sure I have any but agree that won’t go far on the beer tab. Still going to look as I may have some.

Post by: Nate on February 01, 2021, 08:15:55 PM: DING DING DING! WE HAVE A WHINER!

As sean stated, they are Deutsche mark bills and Pfennig coins.

I was stationed in germany when the DM ended and the € was introduced. The highest the DM got while i was there was DM 2.25 - $1, and when the DM was replaced by the € it dropped to DM/€1 - $1.

On 1 Jan 02 the currency in that frame was worth €48.32 / $48.32.

I have been fortunate enough to be in 2 different countries where their current monetary system was replaced and the currency in that frame was the only one that i chose to keep.
