备注	American grocery chain scrip of this type was typically issued during the coin shortages of the early 1970s, when the U.S. Mint struggled to keep cents in circulation. Retailers, particularly large supermarket chains like Safeway, issued paper fractional notes to make change rather than round up prices or absorb the loss themselves. The practice was short-lived — public complaints and questions about legality under federal statutes governing private money brought most programs to a quick end.
