I snagged these because I thought they were cool and I'd never seen them before. I was throwing boxes of paperwork in one of those industrial shredders when i was cleaning out that crawl space and these were in one of them so no idea how many got shredded

In Morocco 1958 -- 1960 and that is what we used . Lived off base the first 6 months and they would change the color of the money from time to time to cut down on ?? fraud so you better have your ear to the ground if it was on weekend and you were not there to turn in the old money.
