| Comments |
Hinterbrühl is a small village south of Vienna in the Wienerwald, and like hundreds of Austrian municipalities in 1920 it was forced to print its own low-denomination emergency money — Notgeld — because the postwar coin shortage had made small change effectively unusable. The Wehhofer press in nearby Mödling handled a number of these local issues, which accounts for a certain consistency in paper stock and typography across several different village names.
Hinterbrühl Notgeld was redeemable only locally and for a limited period. Most was spent quickly and worn to rags; unused examples survived mainly by accident.
