| Opmerkingen |
Melle's 1920 Notgeld issue belongs to the vast wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Germany as federal coin supplies collapsed in the postwar years. Stadt Melle, a small administrative town in Lower Saxony, was among thousands of local authorities legally empowered to issue their own fractional notes under tolerating decrees from the Reichsbank — a situation that produced staggering variety and, almost immediately, a collector market that local issuers quickly learned to exploit.
By 1920, many towns were printing deliberately attractive series purely for philatelic sale, knowing collectors would hoard them uncirculated. Whether Melle's issue served genuine circulation need or doubled as a revenue exercise is worth investigating before pricing accordingly.
