Inflating your collection : 1 German Empire (Weimar Republic) n

In the first week of October, once more, a new set of additional notes is released.
some petty cash ?
The previous 10 Milliarden Mark (US : 10 billion) is replaced with a new note of the same value.
Pick 117a
This note can be found with 5 different watermark.
In the same style, but with a mirrored image (L/R), is a 20 Milliarden Mark (US : 20 billion).
This note comes also with 5 diffferent watermarks (as above).
two versions of Pick 118 (a and c)
Two different 50 Milliarden Mark-notes are part of this set too (but not yet in my collection), and the 7th issue ends with a 200 Milliarden Mark-note ! (US :  200 billion or 200,000,000,000 !)
200,000,000,000 Reichsmark in 1923
Similar to the previous notes, 5 different watermarks can be found too.
From now on, most notes become quite expensive. Especially good quality notes come close to a €100 and more.
Sadly enough, it was not the end of the hyperinflation in Germany yet...

so more to follow...
