75 Pfennig Verkehrsverein

Lüneburg's Verkehrsverein — a civic tourism and trade association, not a bank — issued this 75 Pfennig note during the notgeld peak of 1921, when Germany's small-change shortage had become severe enough that local clubs, municipalities, and merchants were effectively printing their own money. The Verkehrsverein had no formal monetary authority; the notes circulated on local trust alone. Gustav Peters, who printed this in Lüneburg itself, was a regional press rather than a specialist banknote printer, which shows in the production.
