Kibbutz scrip occupies a genuinely odd corner of Israeli monetary history. During the 1960s and into the 1970s, a number of kibbutzim issued internal voucher notes for use within their own communities — not legal tender, but functioning as a controlled medium of exchange for members purchasing goods at the kibbutz store or canteen. Ein Hashofet, founded in 1937 by immigrants from Czechoslovakia and Austria, was among those that formalized this practice in printed note form.
These scrip issues were never catalogued systematically at the time, and surviving examples in any condition are genuinely uncommon.
