Description
While serving in Vietnam from 1968-1969, I purchased the coin book in Quang Tri, South Vietnam in March of 1969. The Vietnam flag was dropped from a helicopter along with a package of two cigarettes, one fishing hook, and a note to surrender. The military money, or MPC, was payment for the U.S. soldiers to use in Vietnam. A new print for MPC was given in 1969. Soldiers were given 24 hours to turn in no more than $150. This was done to curb the black market. Winner shall receive the exact items shown here. (EP)
