      and down the side:

      “5 million mark (currency)
      pays the Reichsbankhauptkasse (something like Central bank?) in Berlin in exchange to this bill to the owner. From October 1st 1923, this bill can be called and exchanged for money” (I think it means they will take it away and give according exchange money)

      Anyone please help me understand the last sentence

      In addition to what the others already posted, on the side there is a warning against counterfeiting money:

      “Whoever creates or acquires fake banknotes will be sentenced to at least 2 years of prison”
      (the German text is a bit more detailed, but I am lacking exact English legal terms to translate it 1:1)

      Don’t think this is worth anything. It’s just printed toilet paper. Just saying.

    7. Slightly offtopic: Here we can nicely see the eagle seal of the Weimar Republic, which we discussed here some days ago.

      in case you need to know, 1 Reichsmark is equivalent to 5,70€ today, so you could say you got around 28,5 million in € but you cannot do anything with this other than maybe sell it for a few bucks to a collector. The thing is even if 1 Reichsmark is now 5,70€ if you look up inflation, it was never close to it cause back in the time people had a inflation problem so 1 Reichsmark felt for the people back then like if they only had 10 cents in their pocket. Some people needed to have like 500 Reichsmark to just buy a single bread etc.
