Officers' Open Mess scrip was a parallel currency system operated by the U.S. military at overseas installations, designed to keep dollar-denominated transactions within controlled facilities and off local black markets. The Teheran mess operated under this arrangement during the period of close U.S.-Iranian military cooperation under the Shah, when American advisory and combat support personnel were stationed in Iran in significant numbers. That presence ended abruptly with the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which places a hard terminal date on this scrip's useful life — any unspent notes became worthless overnight.
White paper stock was typically used to distinguish lower denominations within a mess scrip series by color coding, reducing cashier errors during high-volume transactions.
