Aachen's city and rural district administration issued this two-billion Mark note in the autumn of 1923, when Reichsbank currency was depreciating so fast that municipal and regional authorities across Germany were printing their own emergency money — Notgeld — simply to meet payroll and keep markets functioning. At this denomination, the note wasn't exceptional; by October 1923, trillion-Mark notes were already circulating elsewhere in Germany.
Aachen's position on the Belgian and Dutch borders gave its hyperinflation a particular edge: hard foreign currency was available just across the frontier, which made the worthlessness of local paper even more visible to the population holding it.
