Giengen an der Brenz is a small Württemberg town best known today as the birthplace of the Steiff teddy bear. In late 1923 it was doing what hundreds of German municipalities were doing: printing its own emergency currency because the Reichsbank simply could not produce legal tender fast enough to keep pace with hyperinflation. By the time a 20-billion-Mark note left the local printer G. Schmid, the denomination was already losing purchasing power by the hour.
The official stamp served as the sole security measure — a thin barrier against counterfeiting that was, under the circumstances, almost beside the point.
