| Comments |
By 1977, Italy's chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage had become genuinely disruptive to retail commerce, and regional savings institutions were among the bodies that stepped in with locally issued fiduciary notes — technically scrip, not legal tender, but accepted as such within their catchment areas. The Cassa di Risparmio di Trento e Rovereto's 100 lire note is a product of that strange interlude, printed not by a specialist security printer but by a local commercial lithography firm in Trento.
The use of Tipolitografia Stampa Rapida underscores how unofficial this entire category of emergency scrip was — no intaglio, no security thread, none of the standard apparatus of state currency production.
