<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3938635, member: 97383"]Kevin, I'm guessing the Roman army wasn't much different than modern armies are today. As lehmansterms states there wasn't any need to carry lots of cash, especially if you were in a war zone. In Viet Nam our pay was recorded on ledgers & if we needed some money for sundries, sex, or pot <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, we were given MPC (military payment certificates) that we called "funny money", see photos below. The largest MPC note was for $10, & Vietnamese civilians would accept these notes without a problem <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1038173[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1038175[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
