| Comments |
Monforte de Moyuela is a small Aragonese village that, during the anarchist collectivization of 1936–37, issued its own local currency under the CNT-FAO framework. These village-level emissions — often called "billetes de guerra" or simply war scrip — were a practical response to the near-total disappearance of Republican coinage from circulation, hoarded almost immediately after the July 1936 uprising. The Colectividad Libre administered local agricultural production communally, and the scrip functioned as an internal medium within that closed economy rather than as general-circulation currency.
Survival rate for Aragonese collectivity notes is low. Many were deliberately destroyed after Franco's forces dismantled the collectives in August 1937.
