| Military Payment Certificates (MPC) were issued by the U.S. in Viet Nam in the hopes of limiting black market activities and illegal dealings with U.S. Green-Backs. They were issued and withdrawn in regular intervals and once withdrawn could not be used after that period. Pictured below are two series, 661 & 681. Series 661 was issued 10/21/1968 and withdrawn 8/11/1969. Series 681 was issued 8/11/1969 and withdrawn 10/7/1970. Series 661 was in use during VAH-21's tour. Series 681 MPC and the 20, 100 and 200 Dong notes were contributed by Marine Corporal Richard Hautala, a friend and Viet Nam vet. |
