El Cambio was a Spanish-language newspaper published in Albuquerque in the late nineteenth century, and like many small commercial publishers and merchants of that period, it issued its own fractional scrip during the chronic small-coin shortages that plagued the post-Civil War American Southwest. This 1 cent piece on cardboard is a representative example of that improvised private currency — locally trusted, regionally worthless beyond the issuer's own transactions.
The cardboard medium was common for low-denomination merchant scrip; metal was expensive to strike in small quantities, and paper this thick survived daily handling better than thin banknote stock.
