Purpose

PRIVATIZATION CHECK
Although not really a banknote, this paper was easily negotiable.
It was to provide funds to allow citizens to buy into a business ("Privatization").
Worth about USD 35 at the time of issue, inflation cut its real value virtually to zero. People who invested felt themselves cheated.
