| Opmerkingen |
American prisoner of war camps issued their own scrip to prevent German and Italian POWs from accumulating U.S. currency that could fund escapes or be passed in local communities. The Greeley, Colorado facility held primarily German POWs employed in agricultural labor — sugar beet harvesting was a primary assignment, filling gaps left by the wartime labor shortage on Colorado's plains.
Camp scrip was non-transferable by regulation, though enforcement was inconsistent. The Greeley issues are among the more localized of the American POW series and were destroyed in bulk after repatriation.
