Introduction

Germany lost 1918 world war I. 
The treaty of Versailles damned Germany 1919 to pay a lot of reparations to the nations that won the war. 
Germany had a very weak economy at this time. The young republic of Weimar had no money. So Germany printed a lot of money which lost its value from day to day. The inflation period started 1919 and became worst on November 1923. 
1923 french troops occupied the German industry region the "Ruhrgebiet" because Germany didn't pay its reparations at that time. 
Therefore the inflation became worse and worst at this time.

The following table shows you the value of 1 $ at this time:

Date Approx. Value of 1 US $ in German Marks
1/1/1920 50 Mark
1/1/1921 75 Mark
1/1/1922 190 Mark
7/1/1922 400 Mark
1/1/1923 9,000 Mark
6/1/1923 100,000 Mark
9/1/1923 10,000,000 Mark
10/10/1923 10,000,000,000 Mark
10/25/1923 1,000,000,000,000 Mark
11/15/1923 4,200,000,000,000 Mark

 

The inflation ended with the issue of the German Rentenmark at November 1923. 1 Rentenmark was 1,000,000,000,000 Mark.
1 US Dollar was 4.20 Rentenmark.
The banknote with the highest denomination was 100,000,000,000,000 mark (100,000 billion marks = Einhundert Billionen Mark) and had the worth of 100 Rentenmark.
It was issued February 1924 and has a high value for collectors because this banknote is a rarity (value approx. 2,500 $)
