This isn't a coin is it?

GFourDriver

It's called MPC: Military Payment Certificate. No US currency was allowed in Vietnam. This is a challenge coin.

Sure wished I save a bunch of mint MPCs before coming home...

In honor of my Dad who was in Pearl Harbor during the Jap sneak attack, aboard the destroyer USS Selfridge and went on to serve 20 years in the Navy, and my Uncle Jim who was in North Africa and Europe in the Army Combat Engineering. Were it not for them and millions others, we would be speaking German or Japanese today.

Some of my stuff:

You are so right Bob, My dad served in the 11th Armored Div and was wounded at the Bastogne-Houfalize highway in the battle of the bulge. We owe the "greatest generation ever" a lot.

I should know this, but what were "piasters"?

chiefbob

Piasters = "pee" money = denomination of Vietnamese currency

Challenge coins look a LOT better than US coins! Now if the Mint only would do enamel inlays...
