What is a "billet de nécessité"?
A "billet de nécessité" is a means of payment produced by a public or private organization that temporarily supplements the official currency issued by the State when the latter is in short supply.

This system was the subject of a letter from Finance Minister Joseph Noulens (1864-1944), published in the Journal officiel of August 15, 1914, some ten days after the declaration of war and when the gold convertibility of banknotes had just been suspended (on August 5). The law of January 12, 1926 coordinated their withdrawal, making them non-redeemable by public coffers from the beginning of May of the same year.Automatically translated
