Yes! I love this stuff!

 

davidw, yep I agree the Italian notes are very colorful.

I think this qualifies, but I'm not sure.
Got it from my dad, and he served in WWII.

 

SteveinTampa: Yes, your note certainly qualifies. It is a Series B note issued for use in Japan from September 1945 through July 1948. The same note also had a longer history in Okinawa (Ryukyu Islands). It was issued to U.S. military service personnel there from April 1945 through September 1958.

The U.S. returned Okinawa only in May 1972. I was a student then in Tokyo. Boy was that a major issue then. Japan is still trying to get those pesky Russians to return some northern islands following Russia's occupation following the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

 

Taking the term AMC loosely, I will offer:

 

As I'm ignorant on world paper,actually paper in general , why do alot of world. paper have the blank white circle on them?

 

There's a watermark there

 

This is just too cool. I just received this, purchased from a forum member....its a Series 1943 Italy 1 Lira AMC *short snorter.*

No date in the hand writing, and obviously no proof of date, time or location when this was written, but I gotta believe that this was an American soldier who was getting addresses for relatives in order to send something to them, or he was writing instructions on who these should go to when sending them home...I dunno...don't have a huge amount of experience with short snorters or AMC for that matter....but I just though this was cool and had to have it.

 

Very cool. You should track down a relatives of Louis Brogna or Aunt Criso.

You know, now that I'm looking at it, it's almost addressed like an envelope. Top as the return address and the bottom the send to address.

Wonder who Louis Brogan is?

 

An Italian note I acquired at local coin club auction recently and I don't even collect MPC or AMC; however, at less than $2 -- why not?

That's part if the draw for me with AMC and JIM, most are low cost...easy to put full set together on a low budget...something to keep you busy while your saving money for your next big purchase.

I like your note, I don't have that one

 

That was my father Louis Brogna and his mother's address. It is in his hand writing. Probably gave it to someone he wanted to stay in contact with.

 

Just saw this on the internet. The name and address on the bill is my father who was a GI during WW II and was stationed in Italy beginning with the invasion/Monte Casino campaign (north Africa and Sicily). That is definitely his hand writing. The second address on the bill is his cousin's house. My father was born in italy and came here in 1927 at the age of 11. He met relatives back in Italy and probably gave them the address to contact my grandparents and other relatives. Do you know who actually has the bill? Cbrogna@live.com

 

I never even thought of saving any MPC during my tours.
