| Opmerkingen |
The Trường Sơn notes were scrip issued specifically for use by personnel operating along the supply corridor through Laos and Cambodia — not general-circulation currency. Soldiers and support workers could not use standard Democratic Republic of Vietnam banknotes in those zones, where transactions needed to remain invisible to both local populations and American intelligence. The scrip kept internal logistics economy self-contained.
These are among the odder artifacts of the conflict: a parallel monetary system for a road that officially didn't exist. Surviving examples surfaced primarily through veterans, not banking channels.
