Opmerkingen

Elm Farm Super Markets issued this 1 cent trade note as a change-making device, a practice that became surprisingly widespread among American retailers during the coin shortages of the 1970s. Rather than rounding transactions or handing back loose copper, stores produced their own redeemable paper fractional currency — technically legal as private scrip provided it wasn't designed to imitate U.S. government issue.

Boston-area examples from regional grocery chains are scarcer than their Midwest counterparts, where the practice was more systematically documented by local collectors at the time.
