French prisoner-of-war camps issued their own internal scrip during World War One precisely to prevent detainees from accumulating currency usable outside the wire. The Nîmes depot was one of dozens of such facilities scattered across the south of France, and its notes circulated exclusively within the camp economy — canteen purchases, small trades between prisoners, nothing more. Redemption after the Armistice was administratively inconsistent, and a significant proportion of these issues were simply never presented, leaving survivors in varied states.
Camp scrip from this period is among the more historically direct paper money France produced — issued under duress, spent under confinement, and largely forgotten immediately after.
