| Opmerkingen |
Bochumer Verein für Bergbau und Gußstahlfabrikation was one of the Ruhr's largest integrated steel and mining operations — and like hundreds of German industrial firms in late 1923, it became a de facto currency issuer out of necessity. The Reichsbank could not supply denominations fast enough to keep pace with hyperinflation, so companies printed their own Notgeld to meet payroll. A 500-million-Mark note would have been worth almost nothing within days of issue.
Notgeld from major industrial issuers tends to survive in better condition than municipal equivalents — firms often retained unissued stocks rather than cycling everything into circulation.
