I´d like to show one of my favorite covers. A Money letter that enclosed 2,000,000,000 Reichsmark. It was sent from Hammermühle to Berlin on October 19, 1923 and had an estimated weight of up to 250 grams. This had a postage due of 8,000,000 RM. Then came the fees for the Money letter and insurance . Everything totaled 53,000,000 RM and on the next day Postage went up again.

A nice cover you have there with the right amount of postage for a up to 20 gram registered letter.
