Troops who deploy to Afghanistan and Iraq are probably familiar with POGs, paper coin “gift certificates” used in place of nickels, dimes and quarters in Army and Air Force Exchange Service facilities downrange.
They are used because transporting metal coins into war zones is costly, AAFES said.
And they’re still good when troops return to their home bases, according to Air Force Master Sgt. Donovan K. Potter, an AAFES-Okinawa spokesman.
POGs can be used at any AAFES facility worldwide and can even be redeemed for cash, he said
