I have a Deutchmark from Germany, dated 1922, in near perfect condition. I also have a few Francs from that time of the same quality. Are they worth anything these days?
I also have a large amount of European currency–with the creation of the euro, will these be worth some sort of money one day?
Please refrain from telling me that they’re worth money because they ARE money. I trust none of you on the board will even bother with such a lame explaination. This is, after all, the SDMB, not some backwards asinine waste of time.
One request before a suggestion is offered to your question:
It’s not polite to ask for help from strangers and then do so with an arrogant chip on your shoulder. You do attract more flies with sugar than you do with vinegar.
As to your request, I found this site using Google using this search criteria “old currency values.” There were quite a few other hits as well.
I wish I could be more helpful, but you need to “sweeten” the pot. 
And not all old money is worth money because it’s money. Very old Australian notes (pre decimal) are worth money to collectors but you can’t take them to a back, so essentially money is not always worth money just because it’s money.
You can get an idea what they’re going for on Ebay.

I would be curious to find out if the Deutchbank still takes in marks from the 20s, and if so, at what par value. Remember, the Weimar Republic went through the period of hyper-inflation, where loafs of bread were selling for millions of marks. Did the Deutchebank disallow marks from the Weimar era, or are they still “money”?
The Euro’s advent is not going to appreciably change the value of bills that old, however, current bills may end up being worth slightly more depending on the number which were turned in to be destroyed. Mind you, paper currency collecting is a somewhat volatile field when it comes to value, or actually selling things and getting some value out of them. Also, there is a lot of paper currency made in some cases, especially in odd hyper-inflationary times like the 1920’s-1940’s. Often you see a “20,000,000,000 Mk” bill go for $0.25
Hmm. Good luck with all that.
My maternal grandparents grew up in Germany, and told me a joke popular during the 1920s hyperinflation – A man loaded up a wheelbarrow with money, and went down to the store to see if he could buy something. He briefly left the wheelbarrow unattended, and when he returned, the pile of money was still there, but the wheelbarrow was gone.
