POW camp scrip issued under the Geneva Convention framework that required the United States to pay captured Axis personnel for labor — a requirement that created an immediate problem, since giving prisoners access to real currency was obviously untenable. The solution was camp-specific paper money, redeemable only within the wire. Greeley, Colorado housed primarily German prisoners who worked in regional agriculture, particularly the sugar beet harvest, which was critically short of civilian labor by 1943.
Printed locally rather than through a central federal supply, which accounts for the relatively crude production quality seen across the Colorado camp issues generally.
