Miniassegno
''Miniassegni'' (pl. of ''miniassegno'' ) were a type of notgeld that was circulated in Italy in the late 1970s. ''Miniassegni'' were used as replacement for change which had become very scarce.

History The first ''miniassegni'' were issued on December 10, 1975, by Istituto Bancario San Paolo, with a face value of Lit.100, (about US$0.14 at 1983 exchange rates). Many banks soon followed by issuing ''miniassegni'' with face values of Lit.50, Lit.100, Lit.150, Lit.200, Lit.250, Lit.300 and Lit.350.
