Eleanor Markell reports from the Outlook on Czecho Slovakia after 1918 founding.

Artful but controversial notes, including a 1000 kronen note from the United States, featured Justice with six fingers. The republic faced no gold reserve, prompting mass gold donations and vaulting transfers from Vienna. To curb depreciation the state urged beet sugar exports, sending large sugar beet plantings for foreign sale while food needs rose.
