Hi,

In “size” (not in face value) one of the biggest in Europe was the Swiss 1000 Franken banknote of the 1960/1970ies.

I remember my Swiss Grandmother telling that many people avoided using it because it was to big and it had to be fould  twice to get it in a wallet.

Hi,

Imagine then using one that's 1370 × 980 mm.

Now that you mentioned it, I wonder if the OP meant largest size or largest denomination.

For denomination here's the largest 6  Again, all German.

I'm guessing there must me a mistake in these notes … a 1.4m by 1m notes seems very unlikely. @muzz0000 seems to have them and can maybe confirm size …

I think you're right.  Somebody forgot the decimal, maybe even muzz0000. No doubt 137 X 98.

I'm changing my answer to https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?r=&ct=banknote&im1=&im2=&tbb=y&tbc=y&tbl=y&tbt=y&cat=y&ru=&ca=931&no=&v=&i=&b=&ie=&u=&a=1900-1940&dg=&m=&f=&t=272-1000&t2=&mt=&g=&se=&d=&c=&wi=&sw=

Yes  I have several of these  - should be 137  x98  mm  entered in correctly
