| Opmerkingen |
Frankfurt's municipal authorities, like dozens of German cities in 1923, were forced into the absurd position of printing their own emergency currency simply to pay wages and keep commerce moving while the Reichsbank struggled to produce legal tender fast enough to chase the inflation it could not stop. Carl Naumann's Druckerei was a local commercial printer with no particular history in banknote production — precisely the kind of firm that found itself taking these contracts by necessity rather than qualification.
By the time a million-mark denomination felt routine, it already wasn't enough.
