Scottishmoney Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Military Payment Certificates, better known as "MPC's" were first issued in 1946 to servicemen of the American military. The earliest series were first used in Europe, then in Asia in areas where the USA maintained a military presence. The military brass realised that they were exchanging significant sums of foreign currencies for servicemen overseas, and that it was alleged that some was going into blackmarket economies. In an effort to stem blackmarket activities by servicemen, the MPC's were instituted, and were not exchangeable for cash outside of US military facilities. The first issues were rather plain, usually consisting of the heraldic eagle, and rather dull designs. After the conclusion of the Korean conflict a new series, Series 521 was issued, this issue was significant, in that in departure from the earlier drab designs, attractive females figured prominently on all denominations issued. This lovely Ceres was issued beginning in 1954, though it was printed in 1952, the first two digits in the series are the year the issue was printed, but not necessarily when it was used. This issue was used until 1958 when the Series 581 notes were issued. This Series 521 issue was significant also in that both sides of the notes featured attractive females. This $10 denomination would be the highest denomination in the MPCs until the Series 661 notes were released in 1968. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Whilst the young attractive lady on the front of the $20 note is mysteriously unknown, she was engraved by F.T. Howe. The reverse is a better known work, The Bouquet by Edward R. Felver. This reverse vignette was prominent on the front of the Bank of the Philippine Islands 50 Peso note used early in the 20th century, but designed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington D.C.

Scottishmoney Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Incredibly the basic elements of this classic design date to 1807! The classic White notes would march on in the £5 denomination to serve 149 years all total before being replaced with the "Helmeted Britannia" design. Aside from the ubiquitous American dollar, the White Fiver is perhaps the then most recognised currency around the world, and was even forged by the Nazi's during WWII in a bungled attempt to bring down the British economy. Because of the German forgeries, denominations above £5 were discontinued during the war and not reintroduced until the late 1960's, so the White Fiver saw more service, and some changes including the introduction of a metal security strip into the paper.

I once read from somewhere that there were forged 5 pounds spotted. In fact, these forged notes were also sold as collector's item for collector's references. Does any know how to spot a forgery piece ? What are the major differences between the real one and the forged one other then the metal security strip.
