1. German and Austrian Prison Camp Money

Notes:
This photograph shows an assortment of prison camp script and coins from Germany and Austria. All of the denominations are small (one to five Pfennige for German script from Chemnitz and Koenigstein-an-der-Elbe in Saxony and one to fifty Heller for Austrian script and coins from Freistadt and Kleinmuenchen), but this cash replaced legal currency to prevent prisoners from using the money to fund escape attempts or to bribe guards.
