| Comments |
COMAL — the Cooperativa Multiactiva de Trabajadores Alimentarios — issued complementary currency in udis as part of a regional solidarity economy network, most active in Central America during the 2000s. These notes circulated within a closed membership system, redeemable for goods and services among cooperative participants rather than on the open market. The watermark is an unusual security investment for a community scrip, suggesting the issuing body had access to a commercial printer with standard bank-note stock rather than producing these through photocopying or basic offset.
