| Opmerkingen |
Camp Kilmer, located near New Brunswick, New Jersey, was primarily a transit camp for U.S. troops shipping out to Europe — but in the final months of the war and through 1946 it also held German prisoners of war. Canteen scrip of this type was issued to PoWs as a substitute for U.S. currency, per Geneva Convention requirements that prohibited detaining powers from confiscating prisoners' pay while also restricting access to real money that could fund escape attempts.
The 1-cent denomination is the lowest in the Kilmer PoW canteen series, used for small purchases within the camp store. Campbell and Schwan catalogue these notes as genuinely scarce survivors — most scrip was redeemed and destroyed at the end of the PoW program in 1946.
