| Aanvullende informatie |
Bergerac's merchant association launched this local ecu in 1993 as part of a broader wave of French regional scrip currencies that briefly flourished in the early 1990s, timed deliberately to coincide with the Maastricht Treaty debates and a palpable unease about surrendering the franc to a supranational currency. Dozens of French towns issued similar pieces, but most circulated for only a season or two before the schemes quietly collapsed.
Aluminium bronze was the material of choice across most of these issues — cheap, durable, and visually passable as real coinage.
