Company store scrip from the coalfields of Logan County, West Virginia — Island Creek Coal Company's retail arm issued these small-denomination notes to miners paid in company currency, redeemable only at company-owned stores. The practice kept wages cycling back to the employer and was widespread in Appalachian coal operations well into the 1930s, when the Scrip Act and later New Deal legislation began restricting it.
The pink paper was a deliberate production choice to distinguish 25-cent denominations from other values in the series, reducing cashier errors in dim company store lighting.
