What Is The Value Of A Saufend

With German inflation stamps, I know it's:

tausend = 1,000
millionen = 1,000,000
milliardem = 1,000,000,000

Where is Saufend in these denominations?

Also, I guess million must be singular and millionen plural since I have a 1 million stamp but all the other numbers are millioned.

Thanks for any help on this. Jim

The "Saufend" that you are seeing is actually "Tausend" in a German font.

Jim, if you would like to know more about this, the fancy "T" looks much like an 'S' in this font. The 's' as in the fourth letter of thousand looks very much like our 'f'.
Of course, you can find some of this on Wiki if you google 'Old German Font'.

Not Saufend in Essex then, Nigel?

Nice one Geoff!

Makes sense. Thanks, Jim

Postage stamps weren't printed in denominations that high, but billion in German = 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion). Million in German = 1 million in English, with milliard = 1 billion. The "en" at the end is a plural (most German plurals are formed by adding "en" at the end, rather than "s" as in English), meaning "millionen" transliterates to "millions". 1 million mark stamps are simply denominated "million" rather than "millionen" like higher denominations.
