The E-Sylum: Volume 6, Number 21, May 25, 2003, Article 10 MORE ON INTERNMENT CAMP TOKENS Bob Leonard writes: "In addition to Crystal City tokens, there was a series in gray fiber reading DEPT. OF JUSTICE/ I. & N. SERVICE around INTERNEE/ CANTEEN, with value on reverse. See "Internment Camp Tokens" by Jack F. Burns, The Numismatist, May, 1962, pp. 586-7. These were issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and were for enemy ALIENS, not the Japanese-American internees from the West Coast. Burns lists denominations of 1c, 5c, and 25c. I have a partial set consisting of 1c, 5c, and $1 in my collection. (Presumably a 50c was issued also.)"
