Having looked at Notgeld and other art styles which are used of currency I found cigarette cards, though not used as currency to say, but to youths and also in late 19th century prison culture these cards were swapped for products and items, they were collectable to cigarette smokers for years and came in all themes and the styles changed over the years too starting with hand drawn mass produced images of sports heroes, cars, nature, and many different themes, the cards made a resurgence of popularity from the 50's to the 70's with photographs of famous sports starts being on them.
