Description

Because of weight, the U.S. Treasury Department does not ship coins to the Armed Forces serving in the Middle East; so, Army and Air Force Exchange Service officials chose to make pogs in denominations of 5, 10 and 25 cents. The pogs are about 1 inch in diameter and feature various military-themed graphics.
