Printing stamps and banknotes at the State Printing House, 1938

Postmarkide ja rahatähtede trükkimine Riigi Trükikojas, 1938

Estonia's money and stamps were printed at the State Printing House on Niine Street in Kalamaja. This 1938 newsreel opens outside the building and then goes inside: the master copy of a 50-cent stamp with President Päts's portrait, approved in 1936, the engraving of the image, sheets of stamps printed and perforated, bills of exchange and lottery tickets cut on a guillotine, and 10-kroon banknotes being printed, dried, trimmed, counted and packed into bundles worth 10,000 kroons. The second item visits the folk costume advice bureau at the Estonian National Museum in Tartu.

Eesti raha ja postmargid trükiti Kalamajas Niine tänaval asunud Riigi Trükikojas. 1938. aasta kroonika algab hoone välisvaatega ja läheb siis sisse: 1936. aastal kinnitatud president Pätsi portreega 50-sendise postmargi algeksemplar, kujutise graveerimine, margipoognate trükkimine ja perforeerimine, vekslipõhjade ja loteriipiletite lõikamine giljotiiniga ning 10-krooniste rahatähtede trükkimine, kuivatamine, servade lõikamine, lugemine ja pakkimine 10 000 krooni väärtuses pakkideks. Teine pala külastab Eesti Rahva Muuseumi rahvarõivaste nõuandebürood Tartus.
