So that would mean english Million = Million, and English Billion = German Milliarden! Enlil Ninlil 04:49, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you're right. See the reference to "long scale/short scale". I corrected the paragraph about the "present system" of naming large quantities. MikeZ 08:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

an error of 10 to the 9th power

I did not realize that the confusion I put in milliard and clicked on search. The first result said in French milliard means 1000. Clearly this could lead to an error of 1000 million times! If this is discused somewhere in Wikipedia, more cross references are needed. I was not aware of milliard until I read the articles and discusions about billion and the disabiguation of billion Ccpoodle 04:26, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A milliard is 1000 million.

The title should definitely by "German papiermark"

I know that Germans like to capitalize all nouns but this is English and the names of currencies are definitely not capitalized except at the start of a sentence, e.g. U.S. dollar, British pound, Eurozone euro.

I'll change the title once I figure out how.

Are there any good pictures of the currency??

Please note that German Rentenmark and German Reichsmark all use capitals in the article name. A general discussion of this matter some time ago lead to the use of the names without capitals in the article titles but this has since been changed unilaterally. If you move this article, please move the others to maintain consistency. Also, please note that the capitalized form must be used in text.

Fair use rationale for Image:1923-9-1-500mil.jpg

Image:1923-9-1-500mil.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Government printing banknotes? - Contradictions

How could the government print banknotes to pay it's war debt?

They were supposed to pay in gold or in a currency on the gold standard which the papiermark was not.
The Reichsbank who held the power to print money was a privately owned central bank.

This does not add up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.226.179.194 (talk) 12:32, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The war debts were bonds issued mainly to German people during the war. The gold was required for reparations, not war debt. The Reichsbank power to print money was non-exclusive. The Treasury Notes, loan fund notes and a few privileged banks could also issue paper currency. Private speculators could short-sell the currency too. 86.214.202.188 (talk) 00:55, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
