The scrip mainly came into existence due to Roosevelts Bank Holiday in 1933 which cut people off from their money and resulted in a shortage of cash in most communities. The scrip was a local way to combat the problem and it continued for some time afterward. There was similar scrip issued during the panic of 1907.
