"Darlehenskassenscheine" były banknotami emitowanymi w latach 1914-1922 przez Reichsschuldenverwaltung (administrację długu Rzeszy). Były one w użyciu aż do hiperinflacji w 1923 roku.
Banknoty te nie były prawnym środkiem płatniczym, jednak musiały być akceptowane przez wszystkie skarbce publiczne. Ich wartość była gwarantowana przez pożyczki na towary przemysłowe i rolne. Nawet bez statusu prawnego środka płatniczego Darlehenskassenscheine były de facto walutą szeroko stosowaną jako waluta równoległa do złotej marki podczas I wojny światowej i na początku Republiki Weimarskiej.

„Darlehenskassenscheine“ were banknotes issued between 1914 and 1922 by the Reichsschuldenverwaltung (Reich debt administration). They were in use until the hyperinflation in 1923.
These banknotes were not legal tender, however they had to be accepted by all public treasuries. Their value was guaranteed by loans on industrial and agricultural goods. Even without the status as legal tender Darlehenskassenscheine were a de facto currency widely used as a parallel currency to the Goldmark during WWI and the beginning of the Weimar Republic.
