Steinkohlenbergwerke Becker was one of the larger independent collieries in the Ruhr coalfield, and like dozens of other industrial firms in 1923, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — to pay workers when the Reichsbank could not supply sufficient physical notes fast enough to keep pace with hyperinflation. At the peak of the crisis, firms were printing payroll notes in denominations that would have seemed absurd eighteen months earlier. A million marks was, by mid-1923, roughly the cost of a loaf of bread.
Coal company scrip from this period was printed locally and redeemable only through the issuing firm, which meant workers had a narrow window to spend before the next depreciation cycle erased whatever value remained.
