The notgeld side of things goes from strength to strength with more collectors making contact with me and new notgeld being added to the collection. Most people haven’t even heard of notgeld, let alone understand what they are all about. It seems as soon as a collector become aware of them, they become very interested in finding out more about them. My GNCC notgeld club membership helps them with that and also offers more benefits to the collector, new and established. A recent member luckily found that he had a very scarce / rare notgeld in his album he had inherited, when I appraised it for him. Hopefully that will light a fire and his notgeld collecting passion can grow.
