Kibbutz scrip occupies a genuinely strange corner of Israeli notaphily. These internal tokens — issued by individual kibbutzim as a form of communal credit for use within the settlement's own canteen, shop, or services — circulated entirely outside the national monetary system. Nir Eliyahu, founded in 1950 near Kfar Saba in the Sharon Plain, was among dozens of kibbutzim that printed their own small-denomination paper for internal use through the 1950s and 1960s.
The scrip has no legal tender status and was redeemable only within the issuing kibbutz, which makes survival rates erratic — most were either spent to destruction or simply discarded when the practice ended.
