| Comments |
Lower Austrian provincial welfare authorities issued notgeld during the acute coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy — small denominations in particular had effectively vanished from circulation by 1919–20, hoarded or melted, rendering everyday transactions nearly impossible. The Landesjugendamt's decision to issue its own emergency scrip is unusual; most notgeld issuers were municipalities, commercial firms, or savings banks, not child welfare offices. Whether this reflected administrative opportunism or a genuine effort to fund welfare operations through scrip circulation remains unclear.
The Jaksc reference places this among the better-documented Lower Austrian welfare issues, though survivor populations are modest.
