What does SCRIP mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A certificate or voucher that stands in for money and can later be exchanged for cash, goods, or shares, rather than being ordinary currency itself.
Companies have long issued scrip instead of full share certificates, or paid workers in scrip redeemable only at a company store, especially in mining and plantation towns where regular currency was scarce. Scrip also names the small extra dividend of shares a company gives shareholders instead of a cash payout. The word is much older than its financial use, having first meant a small bag or wallet a traveller carried, a sense that survives only in old writing.
