| Anmerkungen |
Bad Honnef's 1921 Notgeld issue is notable primarily for its print run — 12,175,000 pieces for a small spa town on the Rhine with a population at the time of only a few thousand. The figure reflects the mechanics of early Weimar inflation, where municipalities printed in bulk against anticipated demand rather than actual circulation need, and vast quantities were simply never redeemed before the notes were declared void.
Most surviving examples show little to no handling, a direct consequence of hoarding and over-issue rather than careful preservation.
