<p>[QUOTE=&quot;armysgti, post: 2819121, member: 74935&quot;]Good Morning JWT.&nbsp; I was not aware you were Air Force, or it may have slipped my mind , like a lot of things lately. I truly was admiring your ancient tokens/coins. How long have you been collecting them ?&nbsp; Reading your info about the Pogs ; The first issue of POGs that were used for monetary purposes were released at AAFES facilities in Afghanistan in or around Nov of 2001.&nbsp; The three tokens of the first issue have distinct color schemes that were not used on later issues ,but all of the other 5 cent tokens have dark blue backs with white numerals.&nbsp; For the 10 cent and 25 cent tokens the back grounds are yellow brown and orange red,respectively, and the numerals are also white. In the year 2002 they started placing pictures of military equipment and soldiers/airman. This 2nd printing of Pogs was issued in April of 2003 had no Date on them. It wasnt till Dec 2003 with the issue of the 3rd printing and each year after that the POGS were dated. When POGS are used overseas, they are constantly recycled through the area, however, once the POGS are used in a Stateside AAFES Facility, they are destroyed.With the mandatory Eagle CASH Card&nbsp; being issued in 2009 , POGS are getting harder to find. 2011 was the last year the POGS were printed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
