| Comments |
Celle's municipal notgeld program is well-documented, and Eduard Binder — a local press operating within the city — printed the entire series in-house, which was common for smaller Lower Saxon municipalities during the hyperinflationary spiral of 1921–1923. The city retained tight control over design and distribution rather than contracting out to one of the major specialist printers handling bulk notgeld for dozens of issuers simultaneously.
The 75 Pfennig denomination is the less frequently encountered value within the 0226 series. Collector demand drove many German municipal issues into de facto non-circulation almost immediately upon release, and Celle's notes were no exception to that pattern.
