Kibbutz scrip of this type was issued by agricultural collectives in Mandatory Palestine to manage internal labor credits — members couldn't spend it outside the kibbutz, and outsiders had no use for it. Dalia, founded in 1939 by HaShomer HaTzair in the Menashe Heights, was still a very young settlement when notes like this circulated internally. The movement's socialist-Zionist ideology made wage labor ideologically complicated; scrip sidestepped the problem by treating exchange as an internal accounting matter rather than a market transaction.
Perforation as the sole security feature reflects the cottage-level production typical of kibbutz scrip — these were not banknotes in any institutional sense, which makes survivors genuinely rare.
