Military Payment Certificates were issued to U.S. military personnel stationed overseas as a control mechanism against currency black markets — local populations and black marketeers who accumulated dollars could not redeem MPCs, since exchange was restricted to authorized personnel only. Series 641, which covers this note, was introduced in May 1965 and remained in circulation until August 1969, spanning the period of rapid American troop escalation in Vietnam.
"C-Day" conversions — the unannounced overnight switches between MPC series — were a deliberate tool. Personnel had hours to exchange old notes; anyone holding them illegally was simply left with worthless paper.
