| Additional information |
Cannstatt — now absorbed into Stuttgart — hosted a dense concentration of industrial canteen tokens in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, issued by factory operators to control worker spending and keep wages circulating within company-run facilities. Haueisen & Co operated within this system, producing zinc tokens that functioned as internal scrip rather than legal tender. Zinc was the practical choice: cheap, easily struck, and sufficiently distinct from official coinage to avoid counterfeiting concerns while remaining durable enough for daily canteen transactions.
