    I’m confused. The article is dated 11 years ago.

    I will stick to this thread (CT) permitting despite a misleading title.
    In order to usefully classify my worthless mini-checks
    I found the following URLs:
    The Alfa catalogo index is the first URL
    http://www.alfaedizioni.it/indice_MASS.htm

    And Colnect is the next (which site includes bottle caps, etc).
    https://colnect.com/en/banknotes/li...8370-1975~1978_Emergency_Issues_-_Miniassegni

    The sites appear well established permitting the URLs to endure.
    Seemingly, year-dates are not so important.
    Which is good because Ebay mass offerings of 25 are imaged once each
    ...in front and back and dates remain obscure at 150%.

    Miniassegni, Buono Acquisto, and "Figurative" for Tourists are the 'divisions'.
    Some amusement may be obtained by using Google or Bing Translate...
    ...to read Italian threads. Most are old and agree on miniassegni worthlessness.

    Still, catalogs aside, I think no one yet has the full story on varieties.
    I perceive the Italian banks did not [have privately printed] every denomination between 50 and 350+ Lira. Many issue just two denominations. Some issue for just one year... Maybe because there were so many in circulation.
    ?40 banks times ?7 denoms times 2 years =560,
    but a collector may succeed with with ??120 ??
