no worse than banks creating currency for nothing.

Starting October 2016 Italian citizens have created more than 1 billion scriptural Euro - all registered in the European Monetary Cadastre.

I can find no reference to any such organization. I vote fake news. Even Zerohedge acknowledged it.

Internet Urban Legend?

Citizens conjuring money out of thin air and having that money accepted as payment all seems like internet urban legend. Perhaps, in the example above, the Facebook employee didn’t want to argue over 25 Euro and was just humoring @marcosabait. Or maybe, the correspondence itself was spurious. Certainly, the claim that more than 1 billion scriptural Euro have been created seems far fetched and that any large sum of scriptural Euros being accepted as payment seemed even further afield.

Nov 3 2016 police in southern Bulgaria recovered 13 million in fake 500 Euro notes that were described as very good . Owner of a print shop sentenced to six years , probably not as big as the operation in Poland shut down in Oct 2011 .Portuguese police picked up nearly 400k in fake 200 notes in 2013 that they said were of exceptional quality . Fake money was expected to exceed 2 trillion per year by 2017 . I think more .
