    Do you mean coins that are sometimes given out to soldiers? I've got a boat load of them from active duty. Never thought they would be of any interest.

    All of mine are one's I've earned while on U.S. Army Active Duty. They're so new I doubt they're anything good. I do have one from 4 Star GEN Bell. I've got them all in a shoe box somewhere... Maybe I'll put them in something to preserve them for down the road.

    If your talking about military money in general Mpc (military payment certificates) the only
    Reliable guide is the Currency Dealer newsletter or simply called the "Green sheet" this is
    The only guide i know of that list,s month to month updates for script now as far as the
    Coinage and tokens and such that,s going to be allot harder to track down why? simple
    There are many bar,s cantina,s and clubs in places like Vietnam and Korea that you
    And i havent heard of and what,s the population? very seldom were these records kept
    So accurately determining value is next to impossible this would go for WW1 and WW2
    As well.

    I'm realize that I am chiming in a bit late on the topic, but here is a listing for references regarding military coinage/tokens/money/medals that I have in my library. I am not aware of any current valuation listings for these items. Some of the references do list values, but that is now dated information. If I can be of any assistance with identification, just let me know.
