SILK MADE BANKNOTE
One of the most unusual pieces of notgeld issued
in Germany following World War I is the silk money of Bielefeld. The
Stadtsparkasse Bielefeld, which was the city owned Savings Bank of Bielefeld,
issued this 25 Mark note to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the founding
of the city. The note, dated July 15, 1921, was made with two pieces of
printed silk sewn together.
