strictly occupation money - asignats issued by the Reichskreditkassen, or
Reichskreditkassen (German Reich Credit Banks). The Reichskreditkassen banknotes themselves (among others.
Among others, according to the work of Franciszek Skalniak, "Bank Emisyjny w Polsce 1939-1945"),
began to appear in circulation as early as September 23, as branches of the

dates and signatures, and during the period in question appeared only as small
denominations: 50 fenig and 1, 2 and 5 marks. There is also no practical justification for
to omit banknotes issued by the Reichskreditkassen from the catalogs of
of Polish banknotes (they are included in Kopicki's multi-volume study and in Lech Kokociński's Pądz papierowy na ziemiach polskich). The Reichskreditkassen banknotes are as Polish as the Poznan and Kaunas issues of the
Ostbank of 1916 and 1918.
