| Comments |
Banque d'État du Maroc was a French-controlled institution, and the wartime severance from metropolitan France forced a practical pivot: with European printing houses inaccessible or unreliable after 1940, Moroccan currency production shifted to American firms. E. A. Wright, primarily known for securities, diplomas, and engraved stationery rather than banknote work, handled several of these wartime Moroccan issues — an unusual pairing that reflects how thoroughly the war disrupted established supply chains.
The Philadelphia connection also reflects the Allied administration of French Morocco following Operation Torch in November 1942, which brought the country firmly within the Anglo-American supply orbit before these notes entered circulation.
