Scrap Paper

Definition of 'Scrap Paper'

Stock certificates that have become worthless. When a company becomes bankrupt, in most instances, the value of shareholders' equity will approach zero. For shareholders with the physical stock certificate, they essentially become as valuable as "scrap paper".
