These banknotes had been in circulation only for a few weeks during the summer of
1946 after World War 2, and are very difficult to find in this condition.
They are also difficult to find in unfolded
condition
, as these were larger than the
previous, non inflationary pengo banknotes, and since they did not fit in to most Hungarian
wallets, they were immediately folded upon receipt.
The Story behind this banknote's denomination:
The banknote's denomination is rather confusing.
It is '10,000 b-pengo', which means it is 10,000 x 1 (b) billion pengo,
which equals to 10 trillion. But, since the Hungarian population at the time
was unable to comprehend such colossal numbers, it was only the letter 'b'
that was placed in front of the pengo, to make it easier for them.
Anyway, since these hyper-inflationary banknotes
were printed in ever greater numbers and variety in the cold and hungry months of 1946,
the population was usually only able to
identify them
by their color.
They were called, the red, the pink, the purple, the brown, etc.
