Well I made it to the land of sand and I realized, hey there is another series of POGS out here! So, I will do what i can to aquire the 2007 series for my collection (There are still some in circulation as far back as 2004 from what I have seen already).
So this has two parts, I made it safe and sound to my destination, and I'm looking to see if anyone collects the POGS, I'll keep my extras for whoever.
Hope all is well back on the boards, I'll keep in touch as much as I can,
Ray

If they are related to one of my specialties they are added to
my collection but not otherwise.
Certainly the pogs used as US currency in Iraq are of keen in-
terest to me.
the first time i saw a pog it reminded me of the cap on an old
glass milk bottle.
interestingly enough, that is exactly how they started.
As any year/currency, they are dated and there is a set veriation of the 5 cent, the 10 cent and the 25 cent POGS. I have found this year there are some with movement (Hold it in two fingers and move it abck and forth to see the picture move). The coolest one I have seen was a memorial of the WTC's with the beams of light that moves... I don't haveone yet
I'm trying to get some 2X2 page holders to store them in (They are soft enough to protect them, and able to see them on both sides). Once I know which doubles I have I'll let you all know.
Let me know who is interested,

60 years into this hobby and I'm still working on my Lincoln set!
My nephew goes nuts over them things. A nieghborhood friend was over in Iraq for 2 years, and when she came home for a holiday visit she brought him one. Seeing as she was going back, she asked him if he wanted some more, which he said yes. He asked just about every other day when she would be returning (which really drove everyone nuts, kinda like "are we there yet?") anyhow, when she returned, she had to break his little heart, because the bag she brought back with her had disappeared in transit.
to this day, he still asks her if she found them yet.
keep your head down while your over there, and come back safe

That is pretty neat. When I was in, the only time I used scrip was in boot camp. I kept some then. We also had scrip at the base bar for a while.
I love stuff like this - I have long considered expanding the personal scrip collection I have.
I do not collect them but do recall them.

Never heard of 'em. -Preussen
For more info check out my website on AAFES pogs. I'm a little behind on the galleries, but I do have a bit more info than the other sites on pogs. (The one by DesertVets that Ray linked to is spam.. they seem to have outright stolen the images from aafespogs.com and added a hyphen to the URL.)
For anyone interested, I do have quite a few extras right now. I'll do up a list and post in BST. I'm sure I can give you guys better prices than you'd find on ebay

Glad to hear you're safe and thanks for checking in.

I have been collecting POGS since 2006. I have one complete set and working on completing 2 more sets for my 3 daughters. ! 497 different Pogs. There are 15 different Printings ranging from Undated,2003 to 2011 ... There are 135 - 5 cent Pogs,180 - 10 cent pogs and 182-25 cent Pogs. There are OIF < OEF and OND Pogs ... These are the different operations that were conducted while we were over there. There are holgrams, lenticular pogs as well .. There is something for everyone. These are Gift certificates and can be used world wide and any AAFES Establisment. Once they are used at the AAFES facility State SIDE, they are destroyed.
I have seen some questions regarding Grading of the POGS.. There are a few publications out there that describe conditions, however, at this point its a matter of each persons judgement.
As far as mintage levels. AAFES Of Dallas has not released that info. It has been said that there are some POGS that have a limited mintage of 50,000.
If you are interested in putting together a set, Let me know.Please PM me at Armysgti@yahoo.com .. It seems as if this link has died since the last posting in 2007.
Best of luck in your search...

I am referring to the AAFES POGS ! The POGS in question, are used by AAFES in locations such as Iraq and Afghanistan. They're meant to replace coins, so the military saves money on shipping coin currency. There are over 15 different printings. 497 Different Pogs .... if you go to Aafespogs.com you can see all the different sets...
Thanks for the read !
