The Colectividad de Trabajadores of Garcia — a small municipality in Tarragona province — was one of hundreds of anarcho-syndicalist collectives that issued their own local currency during the Spanish Civil War after CNT-AIT affiliated workers took control of agricultural and industrial production in mid-1936. These notes functioned as internal scrip, accepted only within the collective's economic circuit and explicitly designed to bypass the Republican peseta and the banking system both.
Garcia's collective issues are among the less-documented Tarragona scrip runs. Production quantities were never recorded publicly, and few examples survived the Francoist suppression of collective structures after 1939.
