Incinerations

In the Archivo General de la Nación there are 17 volumes from the bank dealing with incinerations, so with time and application it might be possible to reconstruct most of the details. In the meantime, this is a partial attempt.

By 1917, in accordance with the Secretaría de Hacienda’s reglamento of 9 March 1916 the Comisión Monetaria was in charge of incinerations. In a report to Congress on 1 September 1917 Carranza said that $111,820 in notes of the Banco Oriental had been incinerated^{El Pueblo, 4 September 1917: Periódico Oficial, Tamaulipas, Tomo XLII, Núm. 75, 19 September 1917}. Up to 3 December 1917 the Comisión had incinerated around four million pesos of Banco Oriental notes, which had been deposied in the Descuento Español’s strongrooms^{El Pueblo, 3 December 1917}.
