History / Summary

On Anzac Day 2002 members of 84 Wing Detachment, 33 Squadron, at Ganci Air base in Kyrgystan used these washers for playing two-up as gambling was disallowed at the base under General Order One. The unpainted washers were marked and held a monetary value. IOU's were settled at the end of the day in private.
