| Anmerkungen |
German municipal administrations were authorized to issue their own emergency currency — Notgeld — during the hyperinflation of 1923, and by the time denominations reached the billions of marks, the notes were being printed, issued, and rendered worthless within days. Bad Lippspringe, a small spa town in Westphalia, relied on the local printer H. Vahle to produce this 5,000,000,000 Mark piece rather than contracting with any of the large commercial press houses.
The Reichsbank's withdrawal of the old mark was completed by late 1923, making most Notgeld of this denomination redeemable for a fraction of a Rentenmark pfennig — effectively nothing.
