Question
I would like to know the worth of some Austrian bills. The one is 50 HELLER and has the date of August 1920on it. They seem to be in pretty good shape. The other one is 20 HELLER and has the date of September 1920 on it.

Answer
Hi Tricia, these are emergency money (notgeld) issued by cities and towns. They are generally worth about $1 depending on type, amount of wear and collector demand.
