spring423 Valued Member United States 240 Posts	Posted 06/04/2011 5:02 pm Hi Came across this military note and I noticed there is no date on the note. Does that mean it could of been issued at anytime and any year. Also does anyone know if there is a way to check the serial number that may give the date. Thanks for any info.

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5611 Posts	Posted 06/04/2011 9:13 pm According to the Comprehensive Catalog of you S Paper Money these notes were made in the year the series states, however this note according to the catalog was issued on June 20th 1951. So I would place the information about the year and series being correct, mostly..... Report this Post to the Staff
zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 06/04/2011 10:09 pm Right you are Mike..... the first two digits in the series number are the year that the note was designed..... the third digit is the sequence of designs that particular year..... MPC, (as well as many currency notes) were often issued years after actual design, approval and printing.... timing of issuance often was dependent on necessity (or lack thereof). What is your first impression of the book Mike? Report this Post to the Staff

spring423 Valued Member United States 240 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 09:11 am I actually picked it up at a yard sale. Was actually looking for other things and came across this note along with another military note and a Florida 10 cent note. Report this Post to the Staff
spring423 Valued Member United States 240 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 09:43 am Here are the other notes. Not in the best of shape. I was unsure of the Florida note thought it may of been a altered note. The back has what appears to be the remnants of other notes. I was told that it was common back then to reuse old notes to make other notes to save on cost.I tried to see if I could make out what the other notes on the back were just for curiosity but no such luck.

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 3:29 pm Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I wish I could find the MPCs I sent home in the 60s. In Kuwait, the exchange service ran out of coins so they issued paper coins that could be redeemed only in the exchange. Never did see MPCs in Kuwait or Iraq. Report this Post to the Staff
