Trouble for the Army. The Russian-printed marks were distinguishable by a dash in front of the serial number. The Army took no note of it. It cashed in unlimited quantities of invasion marks till November 1945 when it limited the amount convertible to dollars to the amount of the soldiers' pay. In September 1946 it stopped converting marks entirely. By then the Army had on hand $250 million in invasion marks more than it had issued.

Meanwhile, noting down of serial numbers is even now no mere locking of the barn, since no cessation of sneak thievery is contemplated by the Yard cops. Possibly, in view of this fact, authorities enamoured of Harvard's exercise of autonomous control of her affairs, and frightened of the glare headline, will not attempt to win their battle while losing the students' campaign...
