5 Cents Angler; Camp 101

Camp 101 at Angler, Ontario held Japanese-Canadian internees during the Second World War — men forcibly relocated under the War Measures Act following the 1942 mass removal from the BC coast. The camp scrip was a practical measure: internees were paid nominal wages for labor, but Canadian currency could not circulate freely within the camp. These denominations were issued in colored paper to prevent substitution between values and to limit their use to the canteen and camp store.

Red paper for the 5-cent denomination. The color-coding system was consistent across the Angler series.
