In Dresden on the Elbe River, the construction of a trade hub between Germany and the Czech Republic with direct state investment is in full swing, and the president's wife, Dinah Eugene Sylna, has been working day and night on the construction site since accepting the task, and the officials of the city government are even more busy and conscientious, and the work is progressing very smoothly. At the request of the State and President Eric, in addition to the free trade zone, there are also the functions of state administration, including the establishment of the Dresden Agency for State Energy Importation, proposed by Chancellor Stresemann.

The construction of trade hubs between Germany and the Czech Republic has also received great attention and active participation from the Czech Republic, and the two countries have conducted bilateral consultations on a series of personnel exchanges, transaction methods and currency circulation, and have reached a consensus to a large extent.

During this period, Dinah also raised a very important new issue to Eric, that is, the currency of the German Confederation, which was not only to solve the future trade between Germany and the Czech Republic, but also to trade goods with other neighboring countries, because Germany could not barter forever, especially countries such as Italy, Denmark, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. Eric has actually been thinking about this problem for a long time, but due to the entanglement of large and small political affairs in the country, he can't be separated. Finance Minister Armar Schacht was aware of this problem from the early days of the federal government, which has been delayed until now because the government had no money to manage. To this end, Yarmar has adhered to the President's consistent economic policy, tightened monetary policies, strengthened financial innovation and foreign exchange controls, and strengthened import and export controls with the assistance of the Ministry of Justice.

The Reichsmark was once the currency of the Second German Reich, and after the successful administration of Eric Adrian, it used symbolic and fixed-value grain stamps to trade securities. The implementation of this security helped the Federal Republic of Germany to quickly get rid of its burdens and get out of the chaotic post-war economic predicament. However, this form of trading is not a long-term solution, and this kind of securities that can only be circulated in the country cannot be exchanged as international currency, and as the foreign trade of the German Confederation continues to expand, Almar Schacht's next task is to intensify discussions with domestic bankers on the design and issuance of the future German currency.

Eric Adrian has always put Germany's economic construction in the first place, and naturally he is very concerned about the issuance of currency, and has repeatedly summoned Yarmar and Hans and others, and even took the initiative to discuss this matter with some influential bankers in China.

Having just returned to Berlin from the Wilhelmshaven, Eric rushed to the Reichstag for an important meeting chaired by Streze and Finance Minister Jármar.

Chancellor Stresemann waited for President Eric to sit down, and then he was the first to speak: "Your Excellency the President, gentlemen, the German Confederation has to do business with all countries in the world every day, although barter can still be accepted by some countries, but this space has become more and more narrow, as you know, because of the continuous import of raw materials, our foreign exchange reserves are very limited, of course, saving money is for money, but Germany must also have its own currency in circulation when using foreign exchange, so that other countries can use pounds, dollars, The franc is also slowly getting used to the currency of the German Confederation, and unfortunately, we now do not have a real financial currency except for a valid domestic ticket, and now this problem must be solved, otherwise it will make the international community laugh. Well, my parents, let your thinking and imagination go unleashed, and your good advice will go down in the annals of the development of the German Confederation. ”

Finance Minister Yarma continued: "Everyone is a member of the German government and a financial leader, and everyone has to talk about their ideas for the future currency, which is also a concrete manifestation of Mr. President's advocacy of a wide range of opinions, so we don't have to be overly cautious and let the good proposals be hidden. ”

Eric was so tired that he spent days walking between the port and the shipyard, and slept at night thinking about how to make the navy a world-class army. Brauchitsch suggested that he go back to the Hansafelt Palace to rest first, but Eric waved him down.

An hour passed quickly, and with the appearance of the various groups of delegates, the parliamentary hall was once again full, and government officials and bankers from all over the country began to speak, and various monetary designs were even more wonderful, but there was no lack of whimsical ideas, and sometimes even strange ones, which caused the officials in the room to laugh.

In fact, the best anti-counterfeiting strategy is to use precious metals to make coins, such currency anti-counterfeiting means are higher than the world's current circulation of various banknotes, also has a very high collection value, because the counterfeit value space needs to be judged according to the currency itself circulation value, so the problem of counterfeit money can be effectively controlled. However, although coins are valuable, they also have many very negative factors, the biggest disadvantage being that their weight is not suitable for carrying around, and it is not easy to keep. However, these problems are not the main thing, and the most taboo thing for Eric Adrian is that these coins will go directly to the country in large quantities. If that were the case, things would be awkward, and the gold reserves that the Union had worked so hard to accumulate would be meaningless.

President Eric acknowledged the enthusiasm of the participants, but had a different opinion on the proposal. At the meeting, he expressed his idea to Prime Minister Stresemann and Ministers Almar Schacht, as well as to all officials and bankers, to create a special paper that is resistant to water and corrosion, and to design banknotes with high security technology. In order to effectively prevent imitation in the market, it is not necessary to care about the cost of its design, and to maximize the artistic value and collectible value of the banknote, while also having the attributes of easy identification.

With the current production technology, the batch painting of high-grade paper machinery is still very backward, and the most common is only the stamps issued by various countries, which is obviously an item that is difficult to imitate, and Alma naturally thought of this, but Eric did not quite agree with the practice of painting the scoop according to the gourd and copying it completely. Eric does not seem to be in a hurry on this issue, repeatedly stressing that the currency represents the virtuosity and overall image of a country, which must be carefully crafted and cannot be achieved overnight.

Artisans, entertainers, and artists from all over the country have taken action, and they have shown their skills to actively respond to President Eric's initiative. For a time, the domestic cultural atmosphere is strong, the art of painting is prevalent, especially the expression of fine and complex patterns is particularly prominent, although the vast majority of works are still not recognized by the Ministry of Finance and the president, but the German art world has also given birth to many superb forms of skills, and the art industry as an elegant art has made significant progress.

Before the banknotes were issued, Yarma was the first to issue the first coins through banks, which were made of all-aluminium and had very small denominations, only 5 marks, 1 mark, 5 pfennigs, and 1 pfennig. At this time, the price of aluminum was not much different from the value of this currency, and it was not of much significance to be counterfeited, so Eric was more comfortable to let the coins start circulating in the market.
