scrip
Provisional paper money
Scrip is a certificate or receipt representing a fraction of something, typically used as a substitute for currency.
Company scrip was once paid to workers in lieu of cash, redeemable only at company stores—a practice that kept laborers in debt.
Today scrip usually means temporary certificates for fractional shares of stock, or vouchers redeemable at specific retailers: The gift scrip is good at any participating store.
