| Additional information |
Deutsche Celluloid-Fabrik was a major producer of celluloid goods in Eilenburg, Saxony, and like hundreds of German industrial firms in 1917, it issued its own notgeld when the wartime metal shortage made official small change effectively disappear from circulation. Zinc was itself a compromise — earlier emergency issues had used iron, but by mid-war even that was subject to procurement pressures. These factory-issued pieces circulated among workers as wage tokens and canteen currency, redeemable only within the issuing firm's own ecosystem.
