LIFER Posted March 28, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2018 How many of you still had some when you got back. I found two of them. Any of you had to go through the process of exchanging them, and what did you spend them on? Also, there were a few series during that time and they were in order. They all started with 6 and then other numbers that were not in sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettow Posted March 28, 2018 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2018 There were 11 issued series of MPC starting with Series 461 in 1946. There were also two unissued series 691 and 701. Series 641, 661, 681 and 692 were issued in Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
