message: 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)

thread_title:  an error of 10 to the 9th power 

message: 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??

replies: text: 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.Dove1950 11:26, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

message: 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)
thread_title:  Government printing banknotes? - Contradictions 

message: Could you all please stop mixing up long and short scale numbers? And keep in mind that the banknotes during the hyperinflation do not show lots of zeroes, but indeed the words "Milliarde" and "Billion"? It is all explained in the article, so please keep it consistent - as well internally as with what's actually printed on the banknotes.
There was a time every single number was explained. Why was it deleted?
The confusion won't be less if the article uses exclusively the american short scale, and now someone who knows about long and short scale misreads american trillions as german ones, e.g. then he reads there was a 100 trillion Mark banknote and interprets it as "100 Trillionen".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caballito (talk • contribs) 16:10, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  long/short scale 

message: A fellow who lived through the German hyperinflation told me the wheelbarrows of cash is a fallacy.  Old cash was sold by weight for fuel, but no one would bother to count a wheelbarrow of cash, much less accept it.  If a merchant accepted wheelbarrows of cash, what would he do with tons of cash at the end of the day?    Randall Bart    Talk   03:02, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wheelbarrows of cash 

message: The article uses the long scale in the section "Weimar Republic" but the short scale in the section "Danzig". It should be one or the other, not both. JIP | Talk 09:23, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

message: This sentence 
" The victor nations in World War I decided to assess Germany for their costs of conducting the war against Germany. "
makes no sense at all.
A false flag attack against the own people inside the own country? never heard about.
