At the outset World War II ( 1939 ) Denmark issued a declaration of neutrality, but within several months German troops crossed their border, and after some resistance the Danish government submitted to a military occupation by the Nazis. Almost immediately, copper (and its related alloys) became hot commodities for use by the German war machine. In Denmark, all the minor bronze coins (eg 1, 2 & 5 Ore) quickly disappeared from circulation. Finally, in February of 1941 an aluminum version for the 2 & 5 Ore coins was issued, but nothing to take the place of the very popular 1 Ore pieces. During May it was announced that several commercial organizations, as well as civic authorities began to issue encased (in cellophane) 1 Ore stamps as monetary substitutes, using the reverse for their own advertising. Within several months many Danish organizations were doing the same. By September of that same year (when a new aluminum 1 Ore coin was finally introduced) more than 8 million such pieces were already in circulation. Presented here is the 1 Ore money substitute featuring the Boy Scouts (technically Wolf - Scouts, 11th Division of Copenhagen) of Denmark along with an upside down placement (younger scouts who volunteered to do the placement?), the true resistance leaders, as any fight against the Nazi aggressors 'must begin with the youth of the nation' made by Danatex. .............................................................................................
