British Armed Forces Special Vouchers replaced NAAFI currency and were designed specifically to prevent sterling from leaking into local economies near overseas bases — a genuine operational concern during the mid-1950s when UK forces were still stationed across a vast network of postwar and colonial garrisons. The third series followed security upgrades prompted by counterfeiting of the earlier issues, with De La Rue tasked to tighten the intaglio work accordingly.
BAFSV notes were non-convertible outside service channels, though black market trading remained a persistent problem in Cyprus, Germany, and Aden throughout the series' circulation life.
