| 备注 |
Military Payment Certificates were introduced after World War II specifically to prevent U.S. dollars from leaking into black markets and foreign currency speculation — a serious problem in occupied territories where greenbacks commanded large premiums. Series 481, which covers this note, ran from May 1951 through May 1954, circulating primarily in Japan, Korea, and certain Pacific bases during and after the Korean War.
Periodic "conversion days" — unannounced to prevent hoarding — were the enforcement mechanism. On those days, MPC series would be exchanged for new issues; anyone caught holding old certificates after conversion lost the value entirely. Unauthorized holders, meaning local nationals, had no recourse.
Forbes Lithograph in Boston printed several MPC series during this period under contract with the Army Finance Corps.
