    I’m using a german 10 000 mark bill as a bookmark because what else am I gonna do with it? Buy a fraction of a breadcrumb?

      You know, that’s a neat idea and an absolute flex.

      Scrolling through eBay, there are some nice looking bills from other periods as well. But it would be an absolute flex to use a few billion as a bookmark. Hmm… 🤔

      IIRC The DM was doing about as good as the dollar, if not better, by the time they switched to the Euro.

        In 1921, the currency wasn’t Deutsche Mark though, it was Reichsmark. There were a few currency reforms between the end WW I and the switch to Euro.
