10 Roubles Mineralnye Vody District

Mineralnye Vody, a Caucasian rail junction town better known for its mineral spas than its finances, was one of dozens of municipal and commercial bodies across the collapsing Russian Empire that resorted to printing local scrip when central currency dried up entirely in 1917–18. These emissions, collectively called "bonы" or local money, filled a genuine vacuum — Kerensky notes and Imperial roubles had either been hoarded or ceased arriving in sufficient quantities.

The Pick S-series designation places this firmly in the vast category of Russian Civil War provisional issues, most of which had no redemption mechanism that survived the subsequent Bolshevik consolidation.
