Mining scrip refers to the use of tokens or vouchers issued by mining companies as a form of payment within the mining community, often exchanged for goods and services in lieu of cash. This practice has a rich history, particularly during the gold rush era, when miners relied on mining scrip to facilitate transactions in remote areas where traditional currency was scarce.
In recent times, mining scrip has experienced a resurgence as a tool for promoting economic development in mining regions and fostering community engagement. It allows mining companies to provide essential services to their employees and local communities, stimulating economic activity and improving living standards.
