Counterfoils — the stub portions retained when a cheque or voucher booklet was used — almost never survive as collectible items because they were considered internal accounting records, not currency. The Menica (bill of exchange) counterfoils issued under the SFRY are an edge case: they circulated as quasi-negotiable instruments within Yugoslavia's complex system of enterprise-to-enterprise credit, where chronic liquidity shortages forced firms to rely on deferred payment documents that the banking system formally recognized but never quite controlled.
The survival rate is low. Most were destroyed at settlement.
