Military uses


AAFES pogs are double sided and thin. One side has the gift certificate value while the other has a scene from military life.
The Army and Air Force Exchange Service, the United States Department of Defense's largest and oldest exchange system, distributes pog-like coinage as change at its stores in contingency areas (those supporting Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom).[17] The reason for adopting pogs as currency was that supply flights overseas had limited capacity and air-freight shipping involved high costs.[2] Metal coinage weighs significantly more than plastic pogs, which are also much thinner than standard pogs. While they are only issued in contingency areas, they are redeemable at any AAFES store worldwide.[17]
