Sangarrén is a village in Huesca province, Aragon, with a population that likely numbered in the hundreds during the Civil War years. Like dozens of collectivized communities in Republican-held Aragon, it issued its own local currency after the 1936 anarchist-led collectivization effectively displaced conventional monetary exchange within the village economy. These notes — often produced on whatever printing resources were locally available — circulated exclusively within the issuing community and were worthless the moment you crossed into a neighboring town that hadn't accepted them.
The Consejo de Aragón's dissolution by Republican government decree in August 1937 marked the administrative end of most Aragonese collectives, though some scrip continued circulating informally well past that date.
