hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 2:58 pm Military payment certificates for the series 641 were the first notes used in Vietnam; that is also the only country in which these were used. They were originally issued on August 31st, 1965. They were redeemed on October 21st, 1968. In total, a little over 283 million in face value was printed for series 641 MPCs. Lots of Vietnam veterans came home with these, so most aren't rare. Yours isn't a replacement, so worth $1-$2 My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff

On an MPC, a replacement note will have a prefix letter before the serial number, but without a suffix letter after the serial number. Your note has both a prefix and suffix letter, so it's not a replacement note. Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 3:23 pm What Steve said, if your note was (for example) J026848090 than it would be a replacement. Here is some more information: Type: Series 641 Denomination: Five Cents Number of Notes Printed: 22,848,000 First Issued: August 31, 1965 Redeemed: October 21, 1968 Value In Very Low Grades: $1 Value In Perfect Condition: $5 There were three different print runs for series 641 five cent military payment certificates. All of them are extremely common. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Edited by hfjacinto 03/04/2021 3:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
