| Opmerkingen |
Tonerde-Werke Curtius was an alumina and aluminum chemicals manufacturer based in Duisburg, and like hundreds of German industrial firms in the summer and autumn of 1923, it was forced to issue its own emergency currency — Notgeld — simply to meet weekly payroll as the Reichsmark collapsed faster than the Reichsbank could print. A 50-million-Mark denomination that would have seemed incomprehensible twelve months earlier was, by mid-1923, barely adequate for a day's wages.
Privately issued industrial Notgeld of this type was technically illegal under German banking law but was tolerated by authorities who had no practical alternative to offer.
