Siegen's million-mark notgeld belongs to the hyperinflation peak of summer 1923, when municipal and commercial issuers across Germany scrambled to print emergency denominations fast enough to keep pace with the collapsing reichsmark. Stadt Siegen contracted the local printer W. Vorländer — a practical decision; shipping notes from a distant press introduced delays that could render an entire print run worthless before distribution.
The denomination itself tells the story. Germany had circulated 1-mark notes in 1914. Nine years later, a million marks was bus fare.
