| Comments |
Prisdorf is a small agricultural village north of Hamburg, and its decision to issue notgeld in 1921 reflects the chronic small-change shortage that plagued Germany well into the early Weimar years. Municipal issues from Amtsbezirk Pinneberg are not rare as a category, but Prisdorf itself was genuinely tiny — a community of a few hundred residents issuing scrip through local necessity rather than any collector-market ambition.
Konrad Hanf was a Hamburg commercial printer, not a specialist security firm. The note's integrity rested entirely on the issuing authority's local credibility, not on anti-counterfeiting technology.
