thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 04/30/2011 03:34 am I don't see anything listed in the two volumes of WPMC for general circulation. There may be something in the Special Issues Catalog but I don't have one. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16850 Posts	Posted 04/30/2011 04:54 am Apparently not. There's nothing in Volume 1 Pick, and I can't even find any notgeld listed for the cities on the islands. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 04/30/2011 05:48 am Thanks Vic. This started as a conversation about Tenerife. Both of us knew the island 40-50 years ago, and both seemed to remember banknotes with the word Tenerife on them. Trouble is although we both vaguely recall design and colour details, there's nothing anywhere to back us up. Bob Report this Post to the Staff
augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1064 Posts	Posted 04/30/2011 08:55 am I would say that under Franco he would not allow parts of the country to have their own official anything. Even FC Barcelona was run by a Madrid man. The Canary Islands now have their own political party that wants independence, so Franco would have been extremely scared of the idea. Perhaps unoffical money was circulating away from the authorities, I do not know. Report this Post to the Staff
