Como, Mississippi was the site of a German prisoner of war camp operating under the U.S. Army's POW program, which by 1944 held over 400,000 Axis prisoners across hundreds of American facilities. Camp canteen scrip was a deliberate policy decision — prisoners were paid a nominal wage for labor (10 cents per day under the Geneva Convention), and scrip prevented that money from functioning as usable currency outside the wire. Pink paper was a common differentiator used by smaller camps to distinguish denominations at a glance.
Como camp scrip is rarely encountered. Most was redeemed or destroyed at war's end.
