POW camp scrip from Chemnitz presents a practical problem for collectors: these notes were internal currency only, designed to circulate within the wire and never leave it. Most were destroyed when the camp closed, either by the administration or by prisoners who had no use for them once repatriated. Alexander Wiede was a local Chemnitz printer with no particular specialization in security printing, which shows — the production values are modest and the notes were never intended to resist forgery, only to function.
The 2 Mark denomination sits at the upper end of typical camp scrip values, where purchasing power within the canteen system was tightly controlled to prevent accumulation of funds that might finance escape attempts.
