The Maison du Colon — "House of the Colonist" — was a social club in Algiers that issued its own scrip during the Allied occupation following the November 1942 Torch landings. This note circulated internally among American officers as a substitute for official currency in a city where the monetary situation was genuinely chaotic: Free French, Vichy-era, and U.S. military financial instruments all competed simultaneously. Club scrip of this type was never redeemable through any banking channel and was typically discarded or destroyed when a unit rotated out.
Surviving examples are accidental — pocketed as souvenirs rather than preserved by collectors.
