Deutsche Mark

Post by WildAboutHarry »

This may be old news to some, but I just read that Germany has begun printing Deutsche Marks in case the Euro tumbles.

I've seen that rumor circulated a half dozen times or so in the last year.  Do you have a credible source for this report?

Nothing I would consider too credible, just the usual internet stuff.  Like: http://www.cnbc.com/id/45526707

All that said was that some vendors are accepting old currency.  Back when I was in the Navy I knew a store in Charleston SC that used to advertise they accepted Confederate money.  But I never considered that as evidence of any sort of serious political-economic trends.

There are others. 

I would be concerned if these started popping up:

I would love to invest in Green Stamps but I would want physical possession in a secure location!
Is it considered a collectible?

I'm sure there will be an ETF.  Perhaps with the symbol SHT?
