Happy Halloween! 🎃👻To celebrate, we will feature the 10,000 German Mark banknote, also known as the “vampire note”! In 1922 at the height of Germany’s Post-WWI inflation, this banknote was printed using the painting “Portrait of a Young Man” by Albrecht Durer. Unbeknownst to anyone, the engraver altered the image to depict a long-nosed vampire with its eyes slightly closed on the neck of the young man (outlined in red)! This was done to symbolize the resentment Germany had towards France and the reparation costs they had to pay. #halloween #vampirenote #banknoteworld #germanmark #ww1 #happyhalloween https://www.instagram.com/p/BpnFoSLFLS-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c1w2npsk36a8

How many landmarks can you spot? The Zero Euro is a souvenir banknote with authorized printing by the European Central Bank (ECB). It’s origins stem from France in 2015 after Richard Faille, creator of popular French currency souvenirs, decided to create euros that promote tourism. The banknotes are printed at a private fiduciary facility and they share many of the same characteristics of a real Euro except that they are marked as “0”, hence the name, and are tested to ensure they cannot enter circulation as legitimate financial currency. We will reveal the landmarks next post!
