10 Reichsmark Lagergeld

Lagergeld — literally "camp money" — was issued by the Wehrmacht high command for use in prisoner-of-war camps, segregating Allied prisoners from the regular German wartime economy. This 10 Reichsmark denomination sits at the top of the series, a figure large enough that few POWs would have had cause to accumulate it through the limited canteen transactions these notes were designed to facilitate. It circulated in a closed system by design.

The Camb#3757 reference places this within the standard Wehrmacht-issue series used across multiple camp systems from the opening of the war through 1944. Forgeries by prisoners are documented for lower denominations; the 10 RM was rarely worth the risk.
