Ein HaHoresh, founded in 1931 in the Sharon Plain, was among the larger kibbutzim operating internal scrip well into the 1970s. These notes functioned as a closed economic system — redeemable only within the kibbutz's own stores and services, insulating members from the inflationary pressures that were already beginning to erode the Israeli pound's purchasing power in the early 1970s. By 1972, the national currency had been under strain for years, and kibbutz scrip offered a pragmatic buffer.
Internal scrip of this type was rarely preserved with any intention; most circulated until physically unusable and were discarded rather than redeemed.
