US Army Finance Corps Museum, Fort Jackson, Columbia, South Carolina

The lighting was very dim, sorry for poor quality of my photos. Even though it is called a museum, it is actually a training ground, they bring troops inside to educate them.

Very interesting. As a coin & currency collector, on the side, I'd love to peruse their collections there. I have a few of those currencies on display. Maybe they're open for some trades.

Use this gate, if you go there, it is open 24/7, they close other ones at night (I think, I went there several times, so not absolutely sure).

Yes, fascinating subject indeed. Some of the US payment certs are very hard to find now. I especially like the German occupation notes
for the occupation of the Ukraine and European countries. Some of the Italian ones are so rare, especially for the Italian occupation of the Ionian Islands.
Always interested to talk with other collectors about military banknotes.

Hello Slick
Lovely stuff you have. When I get home I will try.... not very good with tech stuff...... to send you some pics of mine.
The US scrip is very hard to find in the larger denominations, like $10 and $20.
I am also very keen on prisoner of war camp money, there were so many camps set up by the Germans in WW1.
Good to be in touch with you.
