The Ministerium für Staatssicherheit operated its own closed monetary system within its network of detention facilities, most notably Hohenschönhausen in East Berlin. Inmates could not access standard DDR currency; instead, these internally issued Pfennig denominations were the only medium of exchange permitted for canteen purchases. The system was deliberate — controlling even the smallest financial transaction was part of a broader strategy of total environmental control over detainees.
After reunification, surviving examples were recovered primarily from MfS archives during the chaotic weeks of January 1990, when citizens stormed Stasi offices across the GDR. Very little of this scrip actually circulated in the conventional sense.
