| Additional information |
Varberg's 1980 local currency issue was part of a broader Swedish municipal token movement that emerged when souvenir and local exchange pieces briefly proliferated across Scandinavian communes. These were not legal tender but circulated locally in controlled retail environments — typically tourist-facing shops and municipal venues — during the summer season.
