Question

Hello Brad, I have three 20 count stacks of bank bound, UC 1000 Mark notes from Berlin.  Can you tell me how much they are worth?

Answer
Hi Richard, this German 1000 Mark note may be worth about $5 each with heavy wear to $10 with moderate wear to perhaps $20 if uncirculated (no wear) depending on amount of collector demand.

You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
