The Fleet C.P.O. Club notes from the Admiralty Islands are among the more unusual scrip issues to emerge from the Pacific theater. After U.S. forces secured the Admiralty Islands in early 1944, the Chief Petty Officers' Club at Manus Island operated its own canteen economy — this 10 cent denomination was part of that internal scrip system, used to control purchases and limit black market leakage between enlisted men and officers.
The physical scale reflects the purely functional intent: small enough to discourage counterfeiting by anyone without access to printing equipment, useless beyond the club's perimeter.
