Interesting fact

The 15 Céntimos (Manresa) ND (1937) coin made of Cardboard is a rare and unique coin that was issued during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) as a substitute for traditional metallic coins, which were in short supply at the time. The use of cardboard as a material for coins was a temporary measure implemented by the Republican government to address the shortage of metals and to ensure the continued functioning of the economy. This coin is a fascinating piece of history that highlights the resourcefulness and resilience of the people of Manresa and the Province of Barcelona during a time of great turmoil and hardship.
