In the Ottoman Empire, when there was a need for urgent money, 'Kaime (paper bills) Emergency Money' was printed (initially in 1840). During the reign of Sultan Murad V. in the year 1877, when these banknotes were devalued because they did not have equivalent in silver or gold, synagogues, mosques, churches, and some other institutions started to print paper bills.
