Pipaix is a village of a few hundred people near Leuze-en-Hainaut. The German occupation of May 1940 caused an immediate and severe small-change crisis across Belgium — coins were hoarded almost overnight, and hundreds of communes, businesses, and local authorities issued emergency paper fractional notes to keep daily commerce moving. Pipaix was one of the smallest communities to do so.
These hyper-local issues were never sanctioned by any central authority and carry no guarantee beyond the commune's word. Most were redeemed quickly and destroyed; survivors tend to show heavy handling.
