Leper colony money

Okay kiddo, so a "leper colony" was a place a long time ago where people who had a disease called leprosy were sent to live. They couldn't go back to their homes or be around other people because they could spread the disease.

Now, the people who lived in the leper colony still needed things like food, clothes, and medicine. So, the government or other people would give them money specifically to spend in the leper colony.

This money was special because it could only be used in the leper colony and not anywhere else. It was kind of like a coupon that you could only use in one store.

So, that's how leper colony money worked. People with leprosy got special money to use just in their own community.
