Anybody familiar with the Courtney Coffing book about Notgeld, what do the letters (OO, NO...) mean next to some of the states?

    They are abbreviations for, in this case, Austrian provinces. "OÖ" is the standard abbreviation for "Oberösterreich" and "NÖ" is "Niederösterreich." Unfortunately, Coffing doesn't bother saying this. I don't find his work useful except to identify what's "out there," particularly for non-German countries, and for more useful catalogs on German and Austrian notgeld, you have to go to German-language publications.
