USA, military tokens
    I don't know when the American armed forces started using tokens and scrip, but it was before the Civil War.  They were still using them in Vietnam.  Today they are using cardboard "coins" to give change in out of the way places like downtown Baghdad.  I am keen to acquire these current issue military chits.  Several people have offered to send me some, but none have actually delivered.  If you have any please advise.
