| Comments |
One of dozens of Milliarden-denomination notes produced by German district committees in the autumn of 1923, this piece was issued collectively by the Kreisausschuss for Landkreis Neuss on behalf of the five Rhineland districts named on the face — a cooperative arrangement that was administratively tidy but legally improvised, reflecting how completely the Reichsbank had lost control of money supply at the peak of hyperinflation.
B. Kühlen was a Mönchengladbach commercial printer with no specialist banknote background, pressed into service like hundreds of regional printers that year. By November 1923, the Rentenmark stabilization made every note like this worthless within weeks of printing.
