| Comments |
The Rammelsberg mine near Goslar operated continuously for over a thousand years — one of the longest-running metalliferous mines in history — and its administrative body, the Gemeinschafts-Berginspektion, issued this ten-billion-mark note during the peak of the hyperinflation that consumed Germany in late 1923. Industrial operations required paying workers in denominations that would have been incomprehensible just eighteen months earlier. F.A. Lattmann, a local Goslar printer, produced the note, keeping both the commissioning and the printing entirely within the town.
