Vintage German paper money issued in 1922 by the central bank in 10,000 mark denomination.  In the late 1800's Germany still had 31 central banks across all its de-centralized provinces.  The Reichstag consolidated them into just four by the early 1900's, and the centralized German Reichsbank issued this bank note in 1922.  It was an attempt by the Weimar Republic - the post World War I German government - to stabilize the economy, which had begun to suffer hyperinflation as it attempted to recover from the costs of war and reparations.  This period of hyperinflation lasted from 1921 to 1924 and contributed to the unrest that led to the rise of the Nazi party.  During hyperinflation the mark's value amounted to a small number with dozens of zeros in front of it.  Now, some 90 years later, the Behntaufend Mark can garner $20 to $30 dollars as a vintage collectible.
