10 Pfennig Industry Series

Pößneck's Notgeld issues from the early 1920s were printed locally by Kuhlborn — unusual for smaller Thuringian towns, which more often contracted out to Leipzig or Jena printers. The Industry Series label suggests this was part of a thematic set, almost certainly produced with collectors in mind as much as for emergency small-change use, a commercial reality that defined much of the later Notgeld wave after 1921.

By that point, genuine purchasing necessity had largely passed; municipalities issued these to generate revenue through direct sales to collectors, a practice that blurred the line between currency and souvenir from the start.
