Friedberg in Bayern, a small town near Augsburg, issued emergency paper money — Notgeld — during the coin shortages that gripped Germany in the early 1920s. A 1 Pfennig note is among the lowest denominations ever committed to paper, a measure of how completely small change had vanished from everyday commerce. The square format is unusual even within the already eccentric world of municipal Notgeld.
