Notes: I spent so long on this fill, I can't even... What is it with me and this movie? [Please see below for additional notes on early 19th century German and French currencies.

Okay, so for one thing, it is incredibly difficult to find information on early 19th century (early 1800s) German currency. From my meager research (because I didn't want to spend countless hours searching for information just to make a poster, even though shame on me I am a history nut, plus the Internet sucks by the way on finding any historical information whatsoever pre-World Wars - end rant), I ascertained that pretty much every city in Germany (around 35) had its own currency, given that Germany wasn't a unified nation at this point and therefore, had no uniform currency.

So I looked into potential Kassel or Frankfurt currency, given the Grimm's helpful admission (twice, I believe) that they're from Kassel, which is near Frankfurt. Of course, their concept of near is in reality around 120 miles. Kassel was a city well before the Brothers Grimm made it their home, and was even the capital of the Kingdom of Westphalia during Napoleon's presence in Germany. So, Kassel is located pretty much smack dab in the center of Germany and Frankfurt is a bit to the south and a bit to the west.

With the film set in the early 19th century and under French occupation, the dates would be anywhere from 1806 (close of the Holy Roman Empire and the start of Napoleon's claim over much of that Empire, including what would later become Germany) to 1813.

Now, some potential German currencies for these years:

Westphalian Thaler and Westphalian Frank (both of these would have been in the Hesse-Kassel province). An interesting point: the latter is the equivalent of the French franc
Gulden (would have been used in Frankfurt)
Kronenthaler and Kreuzer (the former was predominately used in the Netherlands and Southern Germany, and the latter predominately in Southern Germany)

It was after this fascinating research that I also wondered whether French currency would be more applicable as a payment for the capture of wanted men. In that case, francs would have been the likely currency.

So there you have it, the brief early 19th century German currency lecture that you never wanted. Not to mention my completely questionable reason for just going with francs as reward money. Oh well.

By the way, if anyone happens to be reading this and knows more about early 19th century German and/or French currency than I do, then by all means please share; I am kinda fascinated by it all now.

Lastly, please check out this lovely little resource for early 19th century French currency:
