Advertisements
Remainders were also used as an advertising medium. Carranza’s Secretario de Hacienda had outlawed the practice of applying countermarks to notes and also threatened those who ‘used paper money as a means of announcement, printing on the notes commercial or other types of notices’1 as early as April 1916. The advertisements printed on Sonoran remainders appear to be of a later date and include
