Opmerkingen

Fourth Street Arapahoe, Inc. was a Pueblo, Colorado business that issued its own cardboard scrip — a practice that survived well into the twentieth century among American retailers and service establishments as a way to manage small change shortages or encourage repeat custom. The specific circumstances behind this issue are not well documented, but merchant scrip of this type was most common during the 1930s Depression era, when coin was hoarded and small denominations genuinely scarce at the local level.

Cardboard scrip from single-business Colorado issuers rarely survives in quantity. Most was redeemed, worn out, or simply discarded once the issuing concern closed.
