- This photograph shows a sample of paper script and coins used in prison camps in Austria and Germany. The coins and several examples of paper money came from Kleinmuenchen and consist of small denominations ranging from one Heller to 50 Hellers (the other script came from Koenigstein-an-der-Elbe and Chemnitz in Saxony in the German Empire). This script replaced legal currency which prisoners could use to make purchases at the canteen or other stores in the prison camp.

- 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.
