| Opmerkingen |
Adorf im Vogtland was a small Saxon textile town of no particular monetary significance — which is precisely why this note exists. During the hyperinflation peak of mid-1923, the Reichsbank could not print or distribute currency fast enough to meet demand, so thousands of German municipalities, utilities, and private firms issued their own emergency paper, collectively known as Notgeld. City councils had no printing infrastructure of their own; most contracted local printers, which accounts for the wildly inconsistent paper quality and typography found across this class of issues.
At 10,000,000 Mark, this denomination reflects the acceleration phase — by late 1923, notes of this face value were already obsolete within days of printing.
