Canadian Forces Token 25 cents - Faced with a very serious shortage of circulating coins in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2005, the Canadian Forces Personnel Support Agency (CFPSA) decided to create its own 25-cent token. Fifty thousand of these gold looking tokens were struck. The plan worked, but when the Canadian Forces moved from Kabul to Kandahar Airfield (KAF), they were no longer required as plenty of US and British POGS were circulating. This token is simply very difficult to find and has not yet been catalogued, but Maj Rufiange (now retired) documented this find in the RCNA Journal, June 2010.
