Otter42 Posted November 22, 2022 Author #5 Posted November 22, 2022 Thank you for your help. What is emergency money?
RRA227 Posted November 22, 2022 #6 Posted November 22, 2022 Local issue cash used to fight "regular" cash shortages. Rich A. in Pa.
Proud Kraut Posted November 22, 2022 #7 Posted November 22, 2022 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".
Otter42 Posted November 23, 2022 Author #8 Posted November 23, 2022 Awesome, thanks again for all your information and time.
