British Armed Forces Special Vouchers — universally called BAFSVs — were not legal tender and could not be exchanged at civilian banks. That was precisely the point. The voucher system existed to prevent sterling from leaking into local economies near British garrisons, a persistent problem during the postwar years when black market exchange rates made ordinary soldiers unwitting participants in currency arbitrage.
The 4th Series was introduced in 1962 and remained in use through BAOR stations in Germany, Cyprus, and various Far East postings. These notes were periodically demonetized and replaced with new series specifically to defeat hoarding and forgery — any vouchers not surrendered during a changeover became worthless overnight.
