Currency Protection Law

通貨保護法 — Institutions

The law for the Second Austrian Currency Reform of November 1947.

Austria The Winter of 1947 / Vienna

An Austrian law of November 1947. As the Second Currency Reform, it stipulated the exchange of old banknotes and a partial freeze of deposits to curb post-war inflation.

⚠ A law with "protection" in its name actually reduces the contents of one's wallet. The names of currency laws are often euphemistic.
