Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG was one of the largest coal and steel combines in the Ruhr, and like dozens of major German industrialists in late 1923, it issued its own notgeld denominated in billions of marks — not because it had banking authority, but because the Reichsbank simply could not print fast enough to meet payroll. At the hyperinflation peak, workers were sometimes paid twice daily to outrun the afternoon depreciation.
Corporate emergency issues of this scale were tolerated by authorities as a practical necessity, then rapidly demonetized once the Rentenmark stabilized the currency in November 1923.
