    I received a package of papers and such of my grandfathers from my uncle when my grandfather passed away. My wife was looking through them and found one of these.

    I think it’s pretty cool but I have no idea what’s written on it. I just want to know what it is and how it was used!

    Thanks All!

    btw....my money (no pun intended) is on MC knowing German.

    You could type it into an online translator like Babelfish.

    I did not just want to know what it says, but what they were used for, a little history on it.

    Yep.. It's a credit note for the German military. It was given out on sept. 15th, 1944 and it says that it's not to be used for general purchases, but has to be military related...

    I am a German Native speaker, and this piece of money you have is not worth much, but has historical meaning. It has existed in time of Second World War. Today it has just nostalgic value, but maybe in 20 or 30 years it could be worth sth. Do you want a translation of what is on the moneypaper? Good luck.

    I am a German Native speaker and this is just an old currency from the time of Second World war. It is worth nothing today, it has just historical value.
    Maybe in 30 or 40 years it could be worth sth..

    Good luck.
