Emergency Currency, also known as Scrip (5 letters), is a form of currency issued in times of emergency or crisis. It is usually issued by a government or other authority in order to provide an alternative form of payment when regular currency is not available. Scrip is often used in times of war, natural disasters, or economic crises, and can be used to purchase goods and services. It is typically only valid for a limited period of time and is not backed by any government or central bank.
