The Allied Military Authority schillings of 1944 were printed in both London and Washington simultaneously — De La Rue handling the British-issued plates while the Bureau of Engraving and Printing produced an identical series stateside. The two outputs are distinguished primarily by a letter suffix in the serial number, a distinction that matters considerably to specialists but went entirely unnoticed in circulation.
These notes flooded Austria ahead of and immediately following liberation, functioning as occupation currency before the reconstituted Austrian National Bank could resume sovereign issue. Counterfeiting pressure on the series was low; the real problem was overissuance, which fed early postwar inflation before the 1945 shilling reforms took hold.
