Other forms of scrip include land scrip, subway tokens, IOUs, arcade tokens and tickets, and points on some websites. 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.
