They were issued by Italian banks in the mid-70s to combat a shortage of small change caused by the metal value of the coinage exceeding the face value. Report this Post to the Staff

Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1221 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 11:13 am Thanks for the reply on this it's greatly appreciated. It's not so much the value that interest me but I really like the story and purpose of them. Not sure if it belongs in my collection of checks or my collection of world banknotes. Would these be considered currency and as such collected by currency collectors? Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

lettow Pillar of the Community United States 742 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 1:59 pm Assegno Circolare means circulating check. Collect 'em if you like 'em. Similar instruments were issued during WWII and to a limited extend in 1966. This is an example of the WWII type. Report this Post to the Staff
