| Anmerkungen |
Berlin's municipal tram authority issued multiple notgeld series in 1922 as hyperinflation made low-denomination coin almost impossible to keep in circulation. This sixth issue carries the "Berliner Straßenlokomotive" theme — a reference to the horse-drawn street locomotives that preceded electrification on the city's tram network, a history the Magistrat apparently thought worth commemorating even as the currency was collapsing around them.
The 2 Mark face value was already losing purchasing power faster than the notes could be printed and distributed. Most tram notgeld from this period circulated hard and briefly before being discarded or redeemed at a loss.
