| Comments |
Weingarten, in Baden-Württemberg, operated as a camp for civilian internees — primarily foreign nationals — during the Second World War. The exchange scrip issued there follows the broader German internment camp currency model, where denominations were restricted to prevent accumulation of usable funds and to limit the purchasing power available to detainees to the camp canteen only.
Paper camp scrip of this type was deliberately made non-negotiable outside the wire. One cent denominations served largely as change tokens within that closed economy.
