<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 380613, member: 12789&quot;]For those not familiar with MPC&#039;s, they are less known as Military Payment Certificates, and they were used by US servicemen overseas, beginning in Europe after WWII, and ending in SE Asia in the 1970&#039;s.&nbsp; Being a military brat, we of course got a few of these from my father after he finished his sentence in SE Asia in 1973, we played with them like play money.&nbsp; At least I saved a few.&nbsp; Now I collect many of them avidly because of the attractive feminine vignettes.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is my most recent acquisition, series 611 $1</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.geocities.com/scottishmoney/banknotes/usa/1dollarseries611mpcdtl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.geocities.com/scottishmoney/banknotes/usa/1dollarseries611mpc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The lady is &quot;Tiara&quot; and she was a creation of graphic artist Charles Chickering.&nbsp; Another example of 20th century art finding her way to paper money.&nbsp; I like the curious positioning of her eyes, as though she is looking off to the right and not facing the viewer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
