Currency of the Great War

By Benjamin White

Book Overview

Currency of the Great War is an illustrated scholarly guide to the remarkable transformation of money during the First World War, when the demands of total war saw gold replaced by paper currency, emergency tokens and base metals. It examines German Notgeld, issued as paper notes, base-metal and cardboard tokens and stamps, which frequently turn up among medals and soldiers' effects. An invaluable reference for identifying these unusual wartime finds and assessing their historical and collectable significance.
