Camp Atterbury, located near Edinburgh, Indiana, held Axis prisoners — predominantly German and Italian — during the Second World War. PoW canteen scrip was mandated under the Geneva Convention, which required that prisoners receive pay for labor and that this pay be usable only within the camp, preventing the accumulation of U.S. currency that could aid escape attempts.
Pink paper distinguished the 1-cent denomination within the series. These issues were strictly internal instruments, redeemable only at the camp canteen and theoretically surrendered upon repatriation — survival in collector condition is partly luck, partly deliberate pocket-keeping by men who held onto the scrip as souvenirs after the war.
