| Comments |
Anklam, a small market town in Pomerania, saw a surge of private emergency money — Notgeld — during the hyperinflationary crisis of the early 1920s, when coin shortages made even the smallest transactions difficult. Department stores and retailers were among the most aggressive issuers, partly out of necessity and partly because branded small change kept customers returning to the same shop to spend it.
Richard Wilhelm Schneider's Kaufhaus issue is precisely that: a commercial convenience dressed up as currency. No central authority backed it beyond the shop's own credit.
