Military scrip at bottom:
Front and back side photos of military scrip which was issued to us during the 1950s Asian Occupation and Korean War era. Whenever, we left the continental limits of the U.S. all American currency was confiscated and we were issued scrip.

During this period of time, the government did not want U.S. currency being used during the occupation of Japan, etc., as it could be used for black-market activities. However, the Japanese would use the scrip for the same purposes too. But, the government had the option of reissuing the stuff and they were somewhat leery of trading with it. I have other issues of the scrip. Whenever, they would reissue it, it would always look different.
