Attention World Paper Money Collectors

A town in central Italy began printing its own banknotes during the Coronavirus outbreak. Castellino del Biferno, 158 mils southwest of Rome is putting out “Ducati” notes for their citizens to use for essential goods at shops in the town.

The notes are worth about one Euro each. Every two weeks, a store that accepts the notes can return the notes to the town and receive the equal amount in actual Euros. Each note features a town landmark, ranging from a church to a public swimming pool.

Wouldn’t one of these notes be a neat addition to a world paper money collection?
