Details
The coin shown is money, just like ordinary nickels, dimes and quarters in America. But, unlike regular coins in America, they are not legal tender. Printing currency is against the law so AAFES (Army Air Force Exchange Services, the WalMart for the military) at the direction of the Department of Defense created these as "gift certificates" for use by servicemembers participating in Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom and ISAF (Afghanistan). They are commonly referred to as "pogs."
