Ador is a small municipality in the Valencia region, and like dozens of similarly sized Spanish towns, it issued its own emergency paper currency during the Civil War when coinage vanished from circulation almost entirely. The Consejería de Abastecimientos — essentially a local supply committee — had no formal banking apparatus behind it. These hyper-local issues were printed on whatever was available, often by hand or on rudimentary equipment, and their authority extended no further than the village itself.
Survival is largely a matter of accident. Most were redeemed, lost, or discarded once normal currency returned.
