One of the neatest coffee tables I ever saw was one a banker/history buff friend of mine had that had the entire top displaying all the  different Reich Bank notes from between the wars under glass. The color, variety, and increasing denominations made for a very colorful display. Recall one that was at least 10 mil.

Heard of stories of workers taking home their weekly pay in wheelbarrows.

And this was not a small coffee table.
I have always been of the opinion that every other country's paper currency was far prettier than ours until the fairly recent redesigning by the Government printing houses.
