Exchanges Offer Disc-Like Gift Certificates

Week of July 16, 2007

The Army & Air Force Exchange Service's (AAFES) newest series of flat, disc-like gift certificates known as "POGs" are being introduced to servicemembers at more than 60 Base/Post Exchanges throughout Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom. While POGs can be redeemed at any AAFES exchange in the world, they are only distributed at contingency BX/PX operations due to the expense of transporting heavy coins into a war zone. POGs received the attention of numismatic and military collectors across the globe. A complete inventory of all 10 AAFES POG series are available by logging in at the Exchange Online Store.
