Officers' Mess scrip of this kind operated as a closed-loop currency — redeemable only within the issuing unit's own canteen or mess account, with no legal tender status whatsoever. The 8/7 Infantry Battalion was an Australian Second AIF unit, and mess tokens and scrip notes were a common administrative solution to the practical problem of running a cash economy inside a military formation, particularly on garrison duty or in rear areas where coin shortages were chronic.
Grey paper was a typical choice for informal military scrip precisely because it was visually distinct from official currency and harder to pass outside its intended circuit.
