备注

Fort George G. Meade held a substantial population of German and Italian POWs during the Second World War, and the canteen scrip issued there was a direct consequence of the Geneva Convention's requirement that prisoners be allowed access to a canteen and compensated for labor. The U.S. Army standardized this across dozens of camps, but each installation printed its own series, making Meade's scrip a localized artifact of that administrative machinery rather than a centrally produced currency.

Camouflage-print and color-coded denominations were common across American POW scrip to prevent hoarding and transfer outside camp perimeters. The 2-cent value handled the smallest canteen transactions — tobacco, soap, razor blades.
