over-printing banknotes (Score:2)

by pne (661)

This over-printing thing sounds familiar... was it in the 1920's where German inflation ran rampant?

I believe it was common to put an extra ",000" or even ",000,000" on with rubber stamps since the banknote presses couldn't keep up with the inflation.
