Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani — majority owned by the Norwegian state since 1934 — operated the mining settlement of Longyearbyen on Svalbard under conditions that made conventional banking almost irrelevant. The company scrip issued here was functional currency within the settlement, where the company controlled housing, the store, and virtually every commercial transaction. Scrip kept wages circulating internally rather than bleeding out of an isolated Arctic economy with no competing retail economy to speak of.
By 1976, this system was already an anachronism. Norwegian banking reached Svalbard shortly after, and the scrip series was retired.
