This is quite a crazy thing. The Nazis apparently dropped these ‘dollar bills’ from planes over France. They unfold so that the hidden inside has an antisemitic message.
Here’s a nice description of the whole thing, explaining how a hateful piece of propaganda because a treasured war souvenir for one Jewish GI:
The text explains that that the “American Minister of Finance is the Jew Morgenthau jr.” and that the dollar bill is loaded with Jewish symbols. The message finishes by blaming the Jew for war: “Will this dollar be enough to compensate us for the sorrows caused by the Jewish war? Money has no smell … but the Jew has one!”
I trust the original owner punched a few Nazis in his day.
