Now isn't that a blast from the past!! Well, didn't quite come across many 1000 DMs very often, in fact, at all! as I worked in as a stuard in an army officers mess in Germany, so the wages were not that significant.
Just for the record, for those who haven't seen a Duetsche Mark or 'D-mark' before, not long before the conversion to Euro in 2002 a 1000 marks was 'about' 330 quid. I don't come across 50 quid notes these let alone something like that. Lol
I think (which I'm sure the man of knowledge in the name of Pete will correct me if I serve wrong), that these notes are the are 1990's third edition west Germany notes.
Besides appreciating the content more than many in this frame Pete, the composition wins me over too.
Brilliant shot there!
