As an addedum to the above,U.S.Forces in England at the time, were just changinf over from a military script system to use of American currency.It was really interesting on change-over day.We did it in school and converted our script to cash.It was a bit of a loss,however, as I thought it was kind of neat to have bills for pennies,nickels, dimes and quarters.

Talk about wallet stuffers.
