1968-1969 Series 661 $1 MPC Note PMG 68 EPQ

Vietnam-Era MPC Note

For troops serving in Vietnam, a Military Payment Certificate (MPC) is as iconic a symbol of their time overseas as their dog tags, combat boots and C-rations. They were the notes used by U.S. military personnel serving outside the United States as a medium of exchange. Changing fairly frequently, the notes contained beautiful designs that would be a welcome addition to any paper currency collection.

Vibrant Notes Display Scenes of America

The Series 661 $1 note was used from October of 1968 to August of 1969 and displays Lady Liberty on the front and Mount Rainier on the back, both in a vibrant blue and purple coloring. These notes would have been placed in circulation just after the final shots were fired in perhaps the most frenzied and dramatic battles of the entire Vietnam War: The Tet Offensive that lasted from January through September of 1968.
