My father kept his old banknotes from Europe when he was there in the late 40's and '50s. He was a 17 year old with no immediate need for money as he worked so much.
I was fascinated by this post as it covers so much that my own father did and saved. Which was funny because it was a rare occasion that he ever spoke about his time in the Army, then Air Force as he was in when it split.
Thank you for the awesome write!
