Series 661, issued from 1969 to 1970, was the last MPC series distributed before the controversial "Operation Elk Hunt" conversion of May 1970 — one of the most logistically compressed currency replacements in U.S. military history. The entire series was invalidated and replaced by Series 681 within a single day, a deliberate tactic to cut black market operators out before they could exchange holdings. Soldiers had hours to convert; Vietnamese nationals holding MPCs illegally were left with worthless paper.
Series 661 notes are consequently scarcer in circulated grades than their issue numbers suggest — a significant portion never made it back through official channels.
