| Opmerkingen |
Laufen is a small Bavarian border town on the Salzach River — its municipal administration had no business printing million-mark notes, but in mid-1923 every German city with a press and a rubber stamp was doing exactly that. The Reichsbank had lost control of the money supply entirely, and Notgeld at this denomination was not commemorative: it was emergency purchasing power, spent the same day it was issued before another round of price increases made it worthless by afternoon.
J. E. Ried was a local printer, not a banknote specialist. That matters when handling the paper — the ink adhesion on provincial Inflationsgeld of this type is often unstable, and surface rubbing can lift detail.
