Bayerische Braunkohlen-Industrie AG was a lignite mining operation based in Schwandorf, Upper Palatinate — a region whose brown coal deposits had been commercially exploited since the mid-nineteenth century. Like hundreds of German industrial firms in 1923, the company issued its own emergency currency because the Reichsbank simply could not print fast enough to meet payroll demands during the hyperinflation peak. These Notgeld obligations were technically advances against wages, not legal tender, and their validity was usually limited to the issuing company's own workers and local merchants willing to accept them.
The one-million mark denomination, absurd by any pre-1922 standard, was routine by mid-1923.
