En las primeras decadas del siglo XX se emitió dinero especial en diversos paises, pero especialmente en Alemania y Austria, para hacer frente a situaciones de crisis económica. Habia escasez de monedas, porque debido a las necesidades de la guerra, el metal no podia desperdiciarse en su acuñación. El “dinero de emergencia”.
El "notgeld" no era emitido por el Banco Central (Reichsbank), si no por distintas instituciones, como cajas de ahorros, municipios y empresas públicas y privadas. No era un medio de pago legal pero era aceptado como tal en determinadas ciudades o zonas.
Existen "papeletas" de dinero de emergencia con muchos tipos de temas y entre ellas se pueden encontrar algunas con images de deportes de invierno.
Notgeld is German for "Emergency Money".
During the early 20th century special money was issued in several countries, but primarily Germany and Austria to cater for economic crisis situations. There was a shortage of small change, due to the war efforts and the need for metal going that way rather than for coinage. This emergency money was not issued by the central bank (Reichsbank), but by various other institutions, e.g. town savings banks, municipalities, private and state-owned firms. It was therefore not a legal tender but rather a mutually accepted means of payment, in a particular location or site.
There are notgeld notes with many different subjects, and a few can be found with winter sports images.
