RAF Lakenheath, now better known as a USAF base, hosted various service clubs during its postwar transition to American operation in the early 1950s. The Airmen's "21" Club issued scrip like this for on-base canteen and recreational spending — a common practice that kept money circulating within the facility rather than leaking into the local Suffolk economy.
Red paper was a deliberate anti-counterfeiting measure in club scrip: cheap to produce differently from standard currency, difficult to reproduce on the copying technology of the period.
