- Notes: Porcelain “notgeld” (German for “emergency money”) was a special currency issued in Germany and Austria to deal with the economic crisis and hyperinflation caused by World War I. Unlike official currency, these coins weren’t issued by the central bank but by local municipalities, private companies, state-owned firms, and town savings banks. As a result, they weren’t legal tender but were accepted within local communities by mutual agreement. Porcelain notgeld served as a substitute for real silver and gold coins in the postwar period, but their fragility and the Reichsbank’s refusal to recognize unofficial currencies led to their decline by 1922.
