| Comments |
The Instituto de la Vivienda de Madrid was a public housing agency, not a monetary authority — which makes its issuance of peseta-denominated paper instruments in 1984 genuinely odd. These were almost certainly vouchers or internal payment tokens tied to housing transactions or employee compensation schemes, issued during a period when Spain's regional administrations were expanding rapidly under the post-Franco decentralization process. Whether they carried any legal tender status is doubtful.
