CARE coupons were not currency in any legal sense but functioned as a parallel remittance instrument during the early postwar years, when direct cash transfers to relatives in war-damaged Europe were complicated by currency controls and black-market exchange rates. An American donor would purchase a coupon from CARE, which would then arrange local delivery of food or goods — the coupon itself being the receipt stub retained by the sender.
By 1951, CARE had expanded well beyond its original 1945 mission of delivering surplus U.S. Army ration packages. The May 1951 date places this squarely in the Korean War period, when congressional scrutiny of foreign aid was intense and private organizations like CARE were actively promoted as a non-governmental alternative to direct state relief.
Collected today as ephemera rather than banknotes proper, though their presence in numismatic catalogs reflects genuine scholarly interest in the broader history of scrip and quasi-monetary documents.
