American PoW camp canteen currency occupies a strange corner of wartime monetary history. The Stockton facility, located at the Stockton Assembly Center site repurposed after Japanese American internment operations, held Axis prisoners — primarily German and Italian — under the Geneva Convention's canteen provisions, which required detaining powers to provide a means of exchange for personal purchases without allowing access to standard U.S. currency.
Camp-issued scrip like this prevented prisoners from accumulating money usable in an escape attempt. The Stockton series is among the more obscure California camp issues; most were destroyed at war's end during demobilization, which accounts for their relative scarcity today.
