The Allied Military Authority mark notes were printed in both the United States and the Soviet Union under a wartime agreement that gave Moscow the same plates and paper stock used by the American presses. The Soviets printed enormous additional quantities with no coordinated accounting — an arrangement that almost immediately generated inflation problems in the occupation zones, since Soviet-issued notes were indistinguishable from American-printed ones and flooded the market well beyond any planned supply figure.
Forbes Lithograph, a Boston-area commercial printer, was one of several contractors brought in for the U.S. run. The 12.175 million figure here covers only one production tranche of a much larger and ultimately uncontrolled issue.
