Camp Maxey, near Paris, Texas, held German and Italian prisoners during World War II, and like many American PoW installations it issued its own scrip to allow canteen purchases without putting U.S. currency into prisoner hands — a practical security measure enforced across the camp system by War Department directive. The scrip had no value outside the wire and was collected and destroyed at repatriation, which is precisely why survivors are scarce.
The 1-cent denomination is the lowest in the Maxey series, and low-value PoW scrip saw proportionally heavier use — small canteen transactions wore these out fast.
