1926 (WARA) (Germany) Booming period 1933 1930-1931 (Germany) 1932-1933 (Austria) Legal pressure No prohibition Prohibition in Germany and Austria (not in Switzerland!) Fee (stamp) Per transaction (usually 2% or 3% of face value) Per time unit (usually 1% per month) Product variety Time-based scrip and hybrid variations (time & transaction) after lobbying of Fisher & Cohrssen Table money (e.g. Tauscher in Germany 1931) Funding/Backing Self-financing Usually backed by conventional money Redemption into conventional currency Usually after full term (all stamps affixed); sometimes a clearing house was installed for premature redemption against a discount by payees (retailers) In most cases, but with disincentives (e.g. redemption against discount) Table 2 : Stamp Scrip during the Great Depression era 69
