RRA227 Posted November 22 Share #6 Posted November 22 Local issue cash used to fight "regular" cash shortages. Rich A. in Pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted November 22 Share #7 Posted November 22 In addition to what Rich has posted: 4 years after the end of WW I the German cash value collapsed. As a result a hyperinflation came up in 1922/1923 (e.g. 100 billions Mark bills did exist). Finally the official paper money lost it´s worth completely. To keep the (local) economy running also many German counties and cities started to produce their own local money, the so called "Notgeld".
