Kibbutz scrip from the early 1970s occupies an unusual niche in Israeli notaphily — these were internal exchange instruments used within collective settlements to manage small transactions without drawing on the national currency supply. Shamir, affiliated with the HaShomer HaTzair movement, was among the kibbutzim that maintained active scrip programs well into the decade, a practice increasingly at odds with the broader Israeli economy's integration.
Paper scrip of this type rarely survived in quantity; most circulated hard within the kibbutz dining hall, shop, and canteen system until physically worn out or superseded by updated issues.
