Chemnitz was one of hundreds of German municipalities that stepped in to fill the currency vacuum during the hyperinflation of 1923, when the Reichsbank simply could not produce notes fast enough to keep pace with collapsing purchasing power. This 2,000,000 Mark notgeld was not a curiosity or a collector's souvenir — it was functional emergency money, printed and issued by the city government to pay workers and keep local commerce moving.
By August 1923, a 2-million-mark denomination was already worth very little. Many of these municipal issues were obsolete within weeks of printing.
