La Cote Des Billets de la R.C.F.T.O book cover We will never repeat it enough, even if the Internet provides a mass of useful information, the book of reference is essential for a collection theme to live and evolve. It is still necessary that the work be well written, well structured, practical and brings new data. Until today, the broadcasts of the R.C.F.T.O. had not the chance to benefit from a complete analysis. It is now done.

It was Yann Noël Hénon who embarked on this study. After his two publications Un Collectionneur… Un billet (generalist) and Les Billets d'urgence of 1940 (the reference on the subject), he therefore tackled this small series of ten banknotes issued there exactly a century ago.

In 1923, the German mark collapsed, banknotes were constantly replaced and their value no longer made sense. The head of the Régie des Chemins de Fer - based in the Rhineland after the first war - decides to issue a series of banknotes in francs in order to be able to continue the exchanges without using the mark.

Ten values, from 5 centimes to 100 francs, specimens, fakes, series, all the elements are present so that a collection theme is born. Yann Noël Hénon has done a lot of work listing the specimens found and the known archive data. These researches lead today to a booklet of 60 pages very complete and perfectly presented which references and Finally rating this show. Published on the author's account, with a sale price at 15 euros, there is no doubt that the 300 copies available will quickly find their place in the libraries!
