War savings stamps
The war savings stamp (WSS) was a patriotic program used by the United States Treasury to help fund participation in World War II, and was principally aimed at school-age children. Stamps were available in 10, 25 and 50 cent, and 1 and 5 dollar denominations and did not provide interest, although in some cases collections of stamps could be redeemed for war bonds.
