Kibbutz scrip occupies a peculiar niche in Israeli notaphily. During the early decades of the state, numerous kibbutzim issued their own internal chits or coupons denominated in agorot — Israel's smallest currency subdivision — for use within the communal economy, bypassing the national banking system entirely for day-to-day internal transactions. Nir Eliyahu, founded in 1950 near Kfar Saba in the Sharon Plain, was among the smaller kibbutzim to produce such material.
These pieces were never legal tender and circulated only within the issuing community, which makes survivor rates genuinely unpredictable.
