Kibbutz scrip occupies a genuinely odd corner of Israeli notaphily. These tokens of internal credit — issued by individual kibbutzim rather than any banking authority — functioned as a substitute currency within the communal economy, allowing members to draw goods or services without engaging the national monetary system. Nir Eliyahu, founded in 1950 in the Sharon Plain, was among the kibbutzim that issued such scrip during the decades when the collective ideal was still practiced in its stricter form.

Surviving pieces are scarce simply because they were never meant to leave the kibbutz.
