| Additional information |
Crengeldanz was a glassworks district of Witten in the Ruhr, and Gebr. Müllensiefen's factory there issued notgeld tokens during the acute small-change shortages that plagued German industrial regions in the early 1920s. Private firms routinely filled the gap when Reichsbank coinage disappeared from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply insufficient for the volume of wage transactions at large manufacturing sites. Zinc was the obvious material choice: cheap, available, and already familiar to workers from wartime ersatz coinage.
