| Aanvullende informatie |
The Lodz Ghetto scrip was ordered into existence by Hans Biebow, the German administrator who ran the ghetto as a forced-labor operation supplying the Wehrmacht with uniforms and munitions. Biebow's logic was simple: a closed internal currency prevented inmates from acquiring goods outside ghetto boundaries and made the entire population's meager wages a fiction — scrip redeemable only within walls he controlled.
Magnesium was chosen precisely because it had no salvage value and was virtually unknown in civilian coinage. The 1st emission pieces are notoriously fragile; magnesium corrodes aggressively in humid conditions, and fully intact examples are significantly harder to find than the aluminum-alloy issues that followed.
