The history of the world can be seen in the way currency has been designed. Some bank notes can tell tales of days gone by. Others educate people of the success achieved by a nation. Of their great leaders, scientists and more. So it is important that Germany’s Hypovereinsbank’s Banknote Collecting Foundation, G&D will be opening the doors of its banknote museum to the public for the first time. On display are some of the world’s rarest currency notes. 1,000 cash note from the Chinese Ming Dynasty from the time of the Great War of 1368-1398; one of the oldest banknotes in the world. The world’s rarest banknote: the only existing 100-mark note dated 1914 from the former colony of German New Guinea. More from the Hypovereinsbank’s press release.
