| Additional information |
Toufflers is a small commune in the Nord département, occupied by German forces from October 1914 through the Armistice. Like hundreds of other municipalities in occupied northern France, it issued cardboard emergency money — monnaie de nécessité — because metal coinage vanished almost immediately: requisitioned, hoarded, or simply absent from a disrupted economy. The German military administration neither supplied nor guaranteed local small change, leaving communes to improvise.
Cardboard issues from the Nord are notoriously fragile. Survivors in collectible condition are far less common than their original print runs suggest.
