“Royal Court Decree” issued by the Austrian Royal Court [Present-day Austria]: “[…] The Polish Jews, who are pursuing a legitimate trade with goods, are also to register with the authorities and have them issue a permit that proves/shows that they are eligible and genuine trades people. […] all Jews who have not been recognized by the authorities to be trading-Jews are prohibited to issue a ‘dry’ exchange. […]” [Researcher’s note: This decree was published as a circular on March 16, 1792. A ‘dry’ exchange most likely referred to an exchange that involved an IOU.]
