Pogs - for EFI and AAFES shops in military Iraq

British and US "pogs" are used in denominations of 5, 10, and 25 cents, even for the Brits...last 2 items are examples of either
WW2 or postwar military payment certificates...I had to use them in the UK but I don't recall what they used in 1960...in Germany and Turkey, ordinary US coins and currency were used...at one time banknotes with the yellow north Africa seals were used, probably to snare black marketeers.

Wow there must of been a lot of images on the pogs I've never seen any of those before, the diver n k9 look nice. I still have pogs from iraq. You can still use them on any military installation as money. You just might get a weird look from the cashier. :)
