Sort is a small town in the Pallars Sobirà comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish municipalities, it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's central banking system collapsed into practical uselessness at the local level. The Consell Municipal — the wartime municipal council — had no choice; without small change, daily commerce simply stopped.
