WWII Escape and Evasion kit
https://www.reddit.com/r/coins/comme...e_evasion_kit/
I know it's Reddit, but this is interesting. It looks like gold coins but could also just be German currency.
According to the comments, they give these to pilots, etc, who may end up lost behind enemy lines so they can blend in as a native until they figure out where to go.
Anyone in the military ever use them?

The SAS still uses gold coins and a compass sewn into the waist of their pants.
SAS member Steven Mitchell talks about them in his book Bravo Two Zero.
