The Kreisgemeinde Pfalz was one of countless regional German authorities forced into emergency currency production during the hyperinflation of 1923, when the Reichsbank simply could not supply enough physical notes to meet demand. By the time denominations like this 2,000,000 Mark note were being issued, the face value was becoming obsolete within days of printing — the Speyer presses were racing a losing battle against price levels doubling weekly.
The Palatinate had a further complication that most German districts did not: French occupation forces had controlled the region since 1919 under the terms of Versailles, creating a layer of political friction around any locally issued currency.
