| Opmerkingen |
By late 1923, German municipal authorities were printing their own emergency currency — Notgeld — because the Reichsbank simply could not supply denominations fast enough to keep pace with hyperinflation. Speyer's half-trillion Mark note belongs to that final, almost absurd phase, when the numbers had outrun any practical meaning. A loaf of bread in November 1923 cost roughly 200 billion Marks; a 500 billion note barely covered two loaves.
Local printing in Speyer kept turnaround fast but quality inconsistent across the series. The Rentenmark reform of November 15, 1923 rendered these notes worthless within weeks of issue.
