Kibbutz scrip of this kind occupied a legal grey zone in Mandatory Palestine and early Israel — members had no personal income in the conventional sense, so internal tokens denominated in prutot allowed communal accounting without cash changing hands. Alonim, founded in 1938 in the lower Galilee near Haifa, issued cardboard chits through its internal store well into the statehood period, when the prutah was Israel's official subunit following the 1949 currency reform.
Cardboard issues like this one were produced locally and survive in small numbers, mostly because they were never meant to leave the kibbutz.
