| Opmerkingen |
Rheinische Stahlwerke was one of the major Ruhr industrial conglomerates that began issuing its own emergency currency — Notgeld — during the hyperinflation of 1923, when the Reichsbank simply could not print and distribute legal tender fast enough to keep pace with collapsing purchasing power. Corporate scrip of this type was technically illegal tender outside the issuing firm's payroll system, but in practice it circulated freely in the surrounding industrial towns because workers had no alternative.
A 250-million-Mark denomination tells you exactly where this sits in the timeline: late summer to early autumn 1923, before the zeroes became truly absurd.
