By late 1923, the German railway administration had become a de facto currency issuer. The Reichsbahndirektion Dresden — like dozens of other regional railway directorates — was authorized to issue emergency Notgeld denominated in astronomical figures simply to meet its own payroll. Half a trillion marks was not an extravagant sum; at the peak of the hyperinflation it barely covered a meal.
These railway notgeld issues were not legal tender in the strict sense, but were accepted in practice within the local economy out of sheer necessity. The Dresden directorate's series was printed locally, which accounts for the variation in paper quality seen across surviving examples.
