| Comments |
The Arbeitgeber-Vereinigung Düsseldorf — the Düsseldorf Employers' Association — was among hundreds of industrial and commercial bodies that issued emergency currency during the hyperinflationary collapse of 1923, when the Reichsbank simply could not produce notes fast enough to meet payroll demands. At 100,000,000 Mark, this denomination reflects the August–September phase of the inflation, before the figures climbed into the trillions by November.
Notgeld of this type was issued primarily to pay workers weekly wages and was typically redeemable only through the issuing organization, limiting its wider circulation.
