| Comments |
Detention center scrip from Vietnam occupies a narrow and poorly documented category. Trại Tạm Giam Vĩnh Long issued canteen coupons of this type for use within the facility, where inmates were prohibited from holding state currency — a policy formalized under the Ministry of Public Security's regulations governing pretrial detention. The scrip allowed controlled purchasing of approved goods and effectively prevented cash from circulating inside the facility.
The handstamp is the only security feature, applied at the point of authorization. Forgery risk was low by design: the notes had no value outside the compound walls.
