Military Payment Certificates were introduced in September 1946 to replace the use of U.S. dollars by American military personnel abroad, specifically to suppress black market activity in occupied territories where greenbacks commanded a significant premium. Series 461 — the first MPC series — was issued from that month and replaced in March 1948, a deliberately short circulation window that was itself a feature of the system: periodic surprise "conversion days" rendered old series worthless overnight, trapping anyone holding them illegally.
Forbes Lithograph, a Boston commercial printer with substantial government contract experience, handled production of the entire Series 461. The 5-cent denomination saw the heaviest transactional use and consequently survives in high grade far less often than the larger values.
