Mini-Mart, Inc. was a US convenience store chain that issued its own scrip for use within its stores — a practice more common among company towns and industrial employers in the nineteenth century, but revived sporadically by retailers in the twentieth as a promotional or change-management tool. These small-denomination paper pieces functioned as fractional currency substitutes, particularly useful when coin shortages made exact-change transactions cumbersome.
Documentation on this specific issuer's scrip program is thin. Without confirmed print run data or redemption records, the circulation history remains difficult to characterize beyond its obvious small-denomination retail purpose.
