While “Charlie” had the Ho Chi Minh trail to supply his needs during the Vietnam War, American GIs had MPC notes—Military Payment Certificates. Compared to Monopoly money for their vibrant colors, MPC notes were issued from 1946 to 1973. Soldiers preferred them over coins that could “jingle” in their pockets, and potentially give away their position. This $10 MPC note was issued from 1965 to 1968 and comes in Circulated condition. Who knows if it slogged through the jungles with a soldier on patrol? As America re-examines its military performance during the Vietnam War, authentic memorabilia like this have gained in popularity.
