Long Branch issued this scrip in 1934 under the emergency relief provisions that proliferated across American municipalities during the Depression, when cash-strapped local governments lacked the liquidity to meet payroll and vendor obligations. The City of Long Branch was among hundreds of issuers that turned to scrip as a stop-gap, though New Jersey municipalities were notably active in this — the state had relatively permissive attitudes toward such instruments compared to some neighboring jurisdictions.
The American Bank Note Company's involvement is worth noting. Most Depression-era municipal scrip was a crude affair, produced by local job printers. Commissioning ABNC was an unusual expenditure for a distressed city, and suggests Long Branch intended these notes to circulate with enough public confidence to actually function — which cheap-looking scrip frequently failed to do.
