| Opmerkingen |
The Tatura camp complex in Victoria held civilian internees during the Second World War — predominantly German and Italian nationals, including a significant number of German-Australians whose loyalty was considered suspect under wartime regulations. The internal scrip system was a deliberate policy: internees were forbidden from holding Australian currency, so the military district commissioned a closed monetary circuit that could be audited and controlled. Miller of Melbourne produced the notes under contract to the 3rd Military District.
Redemption after 1947 was patchy at best, and many notes were simply retained as personal mementos by former internees on release.
