From 1914, the value of the mark fell. The rate of inflation rose following the end of World War I and reached its highest point in October 1923. The currency stabilized in November 1923 after the announcement of the creation of the [[German Rentenmark|Rentenmark]], although the Rentenmark did not come into circulation until 1924. When it did, it replaced the Papiermark at the rate of 1&nbsp;[[trillion (short scale)|trillion]] (10<sup>12</sup>)-ℳ to [[Rentenmark|RM]]1. On 30 August 1924 the Rentenmark was replaced by the [[German Reichsmark|Reichsmark]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz55235.html|title=Biografie Hans Luther|language=de|publisher=Bayerische Nationalbibliothek|access-date=15 August 2020}}</ref>

During this period, many provinces and cities also had their own corresponding coin and note issues, referred to as [[Notgeld]] currency. This came about often due to a shortage of exchangeable tender in one region or another during the war and hyperinflation periods. Some of the most memorable of these to be issued during this period came from [[Westphalia]] and featured the highest face value denominations on a coin ever, eventually reaching 1,000,000,000,000ℳ.<ref>[https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces20338.html 1 Billion Mark - Westfalen] at Numista.com.

===Denomination Translations===
There is a confusion that frequently arises when translating German to English with regard to denominations, as the exact same words, in some cases, exist in both languages but represent different denominations, as is the case with the word "Billion". So to alleviate that confusion, a simple chart of translations.

The Papiermark (German: [paˈpiːɐ̯ˌmaʁk] ⓘ; lit. 'paper mark', officially just Mark, sign: ℳ︁) was the German currency from 4 August 1914[1] when the link between the Goldmark and gold was abandoned, due to the outbreak of World War I.[2] In particular, the Papiermark was the currency issued during the hyperinflation in Germany of 1922 and 1923.[3]

History

[edit]
Further information: Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic

From 1914, the value of the mark fell.[4] The rate of inflation rose following the end of World War I and reached its highest point in October 1923. The currency stabilized in November 1923 after the announcement of the creation of the Rentenmark, although the Rentenmark did not come into circulation until 1924. When it did, it replaced the Papiermark at the rate of 1-trillion (1012)-ℳ︁ to RM1. On 30 August 1924 the Rentenmark was replaced by the Reichsmark.[5]

In addition to the issues of the government, emergency issues of both tokens and paper money, known as Kriegsgeld (war money) and Notgeld (emergency money), were produced by local authorities.[6]

The Papiermark was also used in the Free City of Danzig until it was replaced by the Danzig Gulden in late 1923. Several coins and emergency issues in Papiermark were issued by the free city.[7]

Coins

[edit]
A 5-million-ℳ︁ coin would have been worth US$714.29 in January 1923, but only about 1 thousandth of one cent by October 1923.

During the war, cheaper metals were introduced for coins, including aluminium, zinc and iron, although silver 1⁄2ℳ︁ pieces continued in production until 1919. Aluminium 1₰ were produced until 1918 and the 2₰ until 1916.[8] Whilst iron 5₰, both iron and zinc 10₰, and aluminium 50₰ coins were issued until 1922.[9][10][11] Aluminium 3ℳ︁ were issued in 1922 and 1923,[12] and aluminium 200ℳ︁ and 500ℳ︁ were issued in 1923.[13][14] The quality of many of these coins varied from decent to poor.

During this period, many provinces and cities also had their own corresponding coin and note issues, referred to as Notgeld currency. This came about often due to a shortage of exchangeable tender in one region or another during the war and hyperinflation periods.[6] Some of the most memorable of these to be issued during this period came from Westphalia and featured the highest face value denominations on a coin ever, eventually reaching 1-billion-ℳ︁.[15]

First World War issues

[edit]

In 1914, the State Loan Office began issuing paper money known as Darlehnskassenschein (loan fund notes). These circulated alongside the issues of the Reichsbank. Most were 1ℳ︁ and 2ℳ︁ notes but there were also 5ℳ︁, 20ℳ︁, 50ℳ︁ and 100ℳ︁ notes.[16]

Post War issues

[edit]

Between 1914 and the end of 1923 the Papiermark's rate of exchange against the U.S. dollar plummeted from 4.2ℳ︁ = US$1 to 4.2-trillionℳ︁ = US$1.[17] The price of one gold mark (358 mg of pure gold) in German paper currency at the end of 1918 was 2ℳ︁, but by the end of 1919 a gold mark cost 10ℳ︁.[18] This inflation worsened between 1920 and 1922, and the cost of a gold mark (or conversely the devaluation of the paper mark) rose from 15ℳ︁ to 1,282ℳ︁.[18] In 1923 the value of the paper mark had its worst decline. By July, the cost of a gold mark had risen to 101,112ℳ︁, and in September was already at 13-million-ℳ︁.[18] On 30 Nov 1923 it cost 1-trillion-ℳ︁ to buy a single gold mark.[18]

In October 1923, Germany experienced a 29,500% hyperinflation (roughly 21% interest per day).[19] Historically, this one-month inflation rate has only been exceeded three times: Yugoslavia, 313,000,000% (64.6% per day, January 1994); Zimbabwe, 79.6 billion% (98% per day, November 2008); and Hungary, 41.9 quadrillion% (207% per day, July 1946).[19][20]

On 15 November 1923 the Papiermark was replaced by the Rentenmark at RM4.2 Rentenmark = US$1,[17] or 1 trillion-ℳ︁ = RM1 (exchangeable through July 1925).[21]

During the hyperinflation, ever higher denominations of banknotes were issued by the Reichsbank[22] and other institutions (notably the Reichsbahn railway company).[23] The Papiermark was produced and circulated in enormously large quantities. Before the war, the highest denomination was 1,000ℳ︁, equivalent to approximately £stg48.9 or US$238.09. In early 1922, 10,000ℳ︁ notes were introduced, followed by 100,000ℳ︁ and 1-million-ℳ︁ notes in February 1923. July 1923 saw notes up to 50-million-ℳ︁, with 10-milliard (1010)-ℳ︁ notes introduced in September. The hyperinflation peaked in October 1923 and banknote denominations rose to 100-trillion (1014)-ℳ︁. At the end of the hyperinflation, these notes were worth approximately £stg5.2 or US$23.81.[24][25][26]

Danzig

[edit]

The Danziger Privat Actien-Bank (opened 1856) was the first bank established in Danzig.[39] They issued two series of notes denominated in thalers (1857 and 1862–73) prior to issuing the mark (1875, 1882, 1887).[40] These mark issues are extremely rare.[40] The Ostbank fur Handel and Gewerbe opened 16 March 1857, and by 1911 two additional banks (the Imperial Bank of Germany and the Norddeutsche Credit-Anstalt) were in operation.[41]

Issuance of the Danzig Papiermark

[edit]

The Papiermark was issued by Danzig from 1914 to 1923.[42] Five series were issued during World War I by the City Council (1914, 1916, 1918 first and second issue, and 1919).[43] Denominations ranged from 10₰ to 20ℳ︁.[43] The Free City of Danzig municipal senate issued an additional four post-World War I series of notes (1922, 1923 First issue, 1923 Provisional issue, and 1923 Inflation issue).[44] The 1922 issue (31 October 1922) was denominated in 100ℳ︁, 500ℳ︁, and 1,000ℳ︁ notes.[45] The denominations for the 1923 issue were 1,000ℳ︁ (15 March 1923), and 10,000ℳ︁ and 50,000ℳ︁ notes (20 March 1923).[46] The 1923 provisional issue reused earlier notes with a large red stamp indicating the new (and higher) denominations of 1 million-ℳ︁ (8 August 1923) and 5 million-ℳ︁ (15 October 1923) mark.[47] The last series of Danzig mark was the 1923 inflation issue of 1 million-ℳ︁ (8 August 1923), 10 million-ℳ︁ (31 August 1923), 100 million-ℳ︁ (22 September 1923), 500 million-ℳ︁ (26 September 1923), 5 billion-ℳ︁ and 10 billion-ℳ︁ notes (11 October 1923).[48] The Danzig mark was replaced by the Danzig gulden, first issued by the Danzig Central Finance Department on 22 October 1923.[48]
