Camprodon is a small Pyrenean town in Girona, and like hundreds of Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional currency after the Republican government's coin supply collapsed in 1936–37. These local notes — *moneda local* or *bitllets municipals* — filled a genuine transactional void, not a symbolic one. The Ajuntament issued them because market stalls and shops needed change, full stop.
Grafos Col·lectivitzada is worth noting: the Barcelona printing firm had been collectivized by its workers under CNT-FAI control, a common fate for industrial enterprises in the Catalan anarcho-syndicalist zones. The printer itself was a product of the same social upheaval that made these emergency notes necessary.
