Pipaix is a small village in Hainaut, and in 1940 — with German forces occupying Belgium and the national banking system in disarray — hundreds of Belgian communes issued their own emergency paper money to keep local commerce moving. These municipal notes were a direct response to the near-total disappearance of coin and official small-denomination currency hoarded by a panicked population in the weeks following the May invasion.
The Commune de Pipaix issue is among the more obscure of these wartime necessities, produced in negligible quantities for a community whose population numbered only in the hundreds.
