  05-11-2019 16:00 via feedproxy.google.com
  In the British Museum at the moment is an exhibition about a period of German history that’s both well known, and hardly known at all – the hyperinflation of the world war periods.
  While many of us who paid attention at school will remember images of people carrying huge piles of cash to buy food, but what’s not taught is what those bank notes looked like – and it’s not what you expect.

  An archive of old footage from the Kinolibrary includes a series of films of the London Underground in the 1960s and 1970s.
