Description: 1933 NY Times - NUMISMATICS - with a Long detailed report of DEPRESSION SCRIP money used during the GREAT DEPRESSION - inv # 9Z-404 SEE PHOTO----- COMPLETE, ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, the NY Times dated Jan 15, 1933. This newspaper contains prominent inside page "stacked" headlines and a long detailed report of DEPRESSION SCRIP money used during the time of the GREAT DEPRESSION (1929-1939) when money and credit were hard to come by. Nice "companion piece" for a collector of US Depression Scrip money. Scrip is a term for any substitute for legal tender and is often a form of credit. Scrips have been created for payment of employees under the truck system, and for use in local commerce at times when regular currency was unavailable, for example in remote coal towns, military bases, ships on long voyages, or occupied countries in wartime. Besides company scrip, other forms of scrip include land scrip, vouchers, token coins such as subway tokens, IOUs, arcade tokens and tickets, and points on some credit cards. Scrips have gained historical importance and become a subject of study in numismatics and exonumia due to their wide variety and recurring use. Scrip behaves similarly to a currency, and as such can be used to study monetary economics. During the Great Depression, many local governments were forced to pay employees in scrip at the height of the crisis. Good condition.
