| Comments |
Monigo was an Italian civilian internment camp operating outside Treviso during the Second World War, used primarily to detain foreign nationals and political prisoners deemed a risk to the Fascist regime. Internal camp currencies of this type — issued by camp command rather than any banking authority — were a deliberate containment tool, ensuring that detainees could not accumulate spendable lire or transact outside the wire perimeter.
The date range 1939–1943 spans Italy's pre-war detention policy through the armistice, after which the camp's administrative structure collapsed. Few of these scrip issues survived; they had no value outside the camp and were not systematically preserved by anyone with reason to keep them.
