| Comments |
J.A.K. — Jord-Arbejde-Kapital — was a Danish cooperative credit movement founded in the early 1930s on the principle that land, labor, and capital were the three legitimate sources of value, and that interest-bearing money was the root of economic exploitation. These privately issued notes were circulated as an internal medium of exchange among members, a deliberate attempt to sidestep conventional banking during the acute rural depression that hit Jutland hard after 1929.
The Thisted Amts Andelskasse branch issued its own denominated andele — units of cooperative credit — making this note a product of local initiative rather than any central J.A.K. authority. Danish authorities tolerated the system only briefly before regulatory pressure curtailed it.
