This MPC was sent to me by my nephew in Iraq. When he uses the local PX they use these tokens as small change.
When soldiers were first sent to Afghanistan, there was a shortage of coins in the PX system, so small cost items such as candy were used as change. This system was not optimal, and PX wanted to make maximal use of their available shipping weight for goods for the soldiers and not use-up part of that weight to ship coins. The wife of an PX executive suggested the use of a plastic disc to act as an "IOU". This idea was developed and PX instituted the use of plastic discs, called "POGs", in the value of 5 cents, 10 cents and 25 cents. POGs can only be used at PX facilities.
The PX officially labels the POGs as gift certificates. This stems from the law that only the U.S. Government can manufacture coins and paper notes. POGs are not produced by the U.S. Mint or U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, so they cannot be called "money" and should instead be classified as tokens. The PX POGs are polystyrene discs, 23 mm (1.58 inches) in diameter. |

Hi all!
After a long time not using Delcampe I'm trying it again. SO if I
don't get it just right at first, please bear with me. I'm sure
that in the end, I'll figure it out.
If you are looking for anything special from Germany please contact

Thanks!
