The rebels captured Guanajuato on 28 July 1914. On 21 August the Governor, General Pablo A. de la Garza, wrote to the Jefatura de Hacienda, saying that as the sábanas lent themselves to counterfeiting, his government had thought it prudent not to make them of forced circulation within the state but to suggest to the public that they take them to the Jefaturas de Hacienda, as they would be able to authenticate the notes and were authorised to exchange them for others of forced circulationCrispín Espinosa, Efemérides Guanajuatenses, Guanajuato, 1920. On 1 September 1914 Enrique Campacos, the Administrador General de Rentas, listed the notes that his office would accept, including the sábanas, dos caritas and Ejército ConstitucionalistaEl Observador, 7 September 1914. Later the sábanas were made of forced circulation, in accordance with other decreesIn December 1914 the Governor and Comandante Militar stated that Constitucionalist and Villista notes were of forced circulation (Periódico Oficial, 3 December 1914).

Perhaps the offices restamped them because they did not have enough notes to exchange them.

During the first half of 1915 Guanajuato and Aguascalientes were the major battleground between Villa and Obregón and the economic situation in the two states deteriorated. On 28 February the Jefe de Armas and Presidente Municipal of Guanajuato was complaining that many businesses were refusing to accept the Chihuahua notes, even thought they composed the Chamber of Commerce that had agreed that the notes should be of forced circulation, once they were restamped, and had set up the restamping office.
