thedeadpoint Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I'll have to ask my friends and family who served in Vietnam if they used any of these MPCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I guess all of the MPC types are using some specialized sites. I'm probably better defined as a generalist or one who can't make up his mind. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armysgti Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 ART, Great write ups on the MPC's .. Do you collect any of the current military change /certificates issued to our freedom fighters overseas ??? The first issue of POGs that were used for monetary purposes· were released at AAFES facilities in Afghanistan at the beginning of 2002. They were valid at all AAFES facilities, but they do not have legal tender status and are issues of the AAFES and not of the Department of Defense itself (as were MPCs). Unlike MPCs all POGs issued to date have remained valid, and thus far there have been no C-days. Also unlike MPCs personnel are not paid in POGs. Thus they function as light-weight small-change tokens, and they are used to make small purchases and to provide change at AAFES facilities. Once brought back to the states and used at any AAFES Facilities, they are destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
