| Opmerkingen |
The Caisse d'Échange des Monnaies was a short-lived institution authorized under Napoleonic financial reforms to facilitate the exchange of worn metallic coinage — not a bank of issue in any conventional sense. Its notes were essentially receipts against coin deposits, circulating locally in Rouen rather than functioning as broad-purpose currency. The arrangement was inherently fragile: confidence depended entirely on the coin reserves actually being there.
Provincial exchange caisse notes from this period are among the least-documented French paper of the Consulate era, and the S-prefix Pick classification reflects that marginal status.
