Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG was one of the largest coal and steel conglomerates in the Ruhr — by 1923, it employed tens of thousands of workers who needed paying weekly, sometimes daily, as hyperinflation rendered yesterday's wages worthless by afternoon. Emergency notgeld of this denomination was a payroll instrument first, a currency second.
The million-mark figure, staggering by any earlier standard, was already sliding toward irrelevance within weeks of printing. By November 1923, a single US dollar fetched over four trillion marks.
