Italian emergency small-change scrip — fiduciary notes issued by local savings cooperatives to ease the chronic coin shortage that plagued Italy through the 1970s. The Banca d'Italia tacitly tolerated these emissions rather than endorsed them; their legal standing was always ambiguous, and the practice was eventually shut down by decree in 1979.
Moena is a small Ladin-speaking commune in the Fassa valley, and its cassa rurale was one of dozens of Alpine cooperatives that resorted to this workaround. Most circulated only within a tightly defined local area and were redeemed quickly, which makes surviving examples surprisingly scarce relative to how many were printed.
