10 Cents U.S. Navy Enlisted Men's Club

U.S. military club chits issued in occupied or Allied-controlled territories during World War II occupied a legal gray zone — they were denominated in U.S. cents but designed to circulate only within a specific installation, keeping dollars out of the local black market. The Palermo clubs operated under Allied Military Government authority following the Sicily campaign of July–August 1943, and chits like this one were a deliberate monetary containment measure.

Sicily saw particularly aggressive black-market pressure on Allied currencies, which drove stricter canteen scrip policies than in some other Mediterranean theaters.
