<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 439075, member: 12789&quot;]MPC&#039;s were printed in the Series year, so for instance Series 461 was printed in 1946, the first two digits being the year.&nbsp; But they were issued and used usually later than the Series year, so for instance the last note, the Series 641 was issued in 1965 and used until 1968 - in Vietnam only.&nbsp; It was followed by the Series 661 notes, that were issued in 1968, but only used until 1969 when they were replaced by the Series 681 notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The notes were exchanged on C-Day, the one and only day you could change your money for the new series, otherwise you were left with a pile of money you could no longer use, or change.</p><p><br /></p><p>Curiously I have a small pile of Series 661 notes... my father was out on an assignment out in the field off of base when C-Day popped up unexpectedly, and he was left with a pile of pretty, but then worthless notes.&nbsp; Several years later he gave them to me when I started collecting coins and paper money.&nbsp; Everything in the first days of my collecting either came from Vietnam, or from MPC currency.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
