Kibbutz scrip of this type occupied a legal grey zone in Israel throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Individual kibbutzim issued their own internal currency — known as "asimonim" or simply scrip — to manage member allowances without requiring cash disbursements from communal funds. These notes circulated only within the issuing kibbutz and had no validity elsewhere, which is precisely why so few were retained after the kibbutz moved away from the voucher system.
Gvat, founded in the Jezreel Valley in 1926, was among the longer-established kibbutzim still using printed scrip into the early 1960s.
