Mengen was a small market town in Upper Swabia with no particular monetary authority — its issue of 50 billion Mark emergency paper in 1923 was entirely a product of the Reichsbank's inability to supply currency fast enough to meet payroll. Municipalities, businesses, and even private firms across Germany were authorized to print their own Notgeld simply to function. Mengen did what hundreds of other small Württemberg towns did: commissioned local printing and stamped its name on the obligation.
At the note's issue date, 50 billion Mark would buy roughly what a few pfennigs had purchased four years earlier. Within weeks, that figure itself would be obsolete.
