Notgeld (German for “emergency money”) was a special currency that was originally issued in Germany and Austria to deal with the economic crisis and hyperinflation caused by World War I. Unlike official currency, these coins and paper bills weren’t issued by the central bank but by local municipalities, private companies, state-owned firms, town savings banks, and even prisoner of war camps. As a result, they weren’t legal tender but were accepted within local communities by mutual agreement. While many notgeld were issued specifically as emergency money, some were also issued for collectors during less inflationary periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll purchases include a Certificate of Authenticity.
