How should German concentration camp note be listed?

What is the best way to list this note

1 Reichsmark from Flossenburg.

Should it be considered a local banknote? Should it be considered a banknote at all?

Exonumia, military scrip or similar.

That was how I was leaning, but that wouldn't be consistent with other related types of notes.

For example, the Polish “Getto” notes are listed as local notes.

Exonumia > Confinement Vouchers, no?

It looked to me like they were for the soldiers not the imprisoned but I was wrong it seems they were intended as an incentive or reward for some individuals. In principle, there was no payment in the sense of a regular wage in concentration camps, so no military scrip.

I would list it as a Camp Token. Similar tokens exist for internment camps in Ireland in the 1920s.

I put in under Exonumia,
Confinement tokens › Internment or prison token.

It seemed to be the best fit. Thank for the input.

Sounds good. We'll do it then with the similar Polish ones also.

Sure, but isn't it a paper voucher?  That's the category for coin-like tokens.

They are often referred to as ‘camp tokens’, or ‘paper tokens’, and not as banknotes. A voucher, in my experience, has no monetary face value - a drinks voucher for example, for a glass of wine.

Look in the categories for Confinement Vouchers and Internment Tokens; one is all paper, one is all metal (or other rigid material).  Most of the “vouchers” listed under Confinement Vouchers have denominated face values in currency, not a coupon value for goods.  This categorization holds true within the same camp; Australia's Camp Hay issued coin-like tokens and banknote-like “vouchers” - both denominated in the Australian dollar - at different times, and they are separated into the two respective categories rather than all under Camp Tokens.  Also, Theresienstadt “banknotes” are listed under Confinement Vouchers, and they're probably the most similar items to this piece we presently have listed.

I don't disagree with your definition, but shouldn't you just request a change to the language used for paper confinement currency rather than list just this one “banknote” under the category that is presently all metal?  As well, Exonumia pages are based on a template for either coins or banknotes, so miscategorizing will result in a page with a diameter for a banknote.

You're right - it needs a paper category.
