Here we will take a look at some of the source documents for what we know, and what we do not know! One of the most important documents is the letter from Colonel A. W. Widmer, Office of the Chief of Finance, dated August 14, 1951 to A. W. Hall, director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The text of this letter is reproduced below. Dear Sir: Reference is made to your letter of 10 January 1951 in which advise was furnished that 115 boxes of Military Payment Certificates, Series 472, are still on hand at the Bureau. Eighteen (18) of these boxes were shipped from the Bureau in April 1951. Inasmuch as Series 472 Military Payment Certificates have been withdrawn from circulation, the Department of the Army has no further need for these certificates. Accordingly, you are hereby authorized to destroy the contents of the 97 boxes referred to above. Signed by Colonel Widmer Internal Bureau documents give additional information. The following text is from a memorandum dated October 10, 1951 from the chief of the office of planning to the superintendent of the orders division singed by E. G. Shreve. "Reference is made to the attached letter dated August 14, 1951 [text above] from Colonel A. W. Widmer, Office of the Chief of Finance, Department of the Army, authorizing the destruction of the remaining quantities of Military Certificates, series 472, comprising 3,808,000 notes contained in 97 boxes as indicated in the attached memorandum from Mr. Gage.=20 "Please instruct the Surface Printing Division to cancel and deliver the certificates to the Mutilated Paper Unit, Division of Loans and Currency, to meet the convenience of that unit. Also please request the Surface Printing Division to secure an additional copy of the delivery schedule bearing the certificate of Destruction Committee and submit such copy to the Office of Planning for transmittal to the Department of the Army." Unfortunately, the memorandum from Mr. Gage has not been found. However, most of the important data is included in a memorandum dated the next day, October 11, 1951. It references the Widmer letter and divides the 3,808,000 notes by denomination. Denomination boxes notes 5=A2 36 1,440,000 5=A2 1 8,000 10=A2 36 1,440,000 10=A2 1 8,000 25=A2 11 440,000 50=A2 11 440,000 50=A2 1 32,000 97 3,808,000 There is a lot of information in these data. The question is if we can interpret it. The second printing of the 50=A2 denomination consisted of only 400,000 notes. The easy assumption is that the entire second printing is included in the line of 440,000 50=A2 certificates. Amazingly this is probably not correct because in 2000 a note from the second printing was found. Of course the simple conclusion is that at least some of the second printing 50 cent notes were issued and it is hard to argue with that idea. The letter from Colonel Widmer has a tidbit that may be the clue to the entire mystery. He states that 18 boxes were shipped in April. 1951. The series was retired in June 1951. If one or more of the 18 boxes contained the first shipped examples of this note, there would just barely have been time for some of the notes to get into circulation. It might be a stretch, but it might be an explaniation for the apparent rarity of this printing. Is any interpretation possible except that this piece from the second printing was issued and survived by natural selection? The only other likely possibility is that it is a remainder from the 472,000 notes that should have been destroyed and that somehow survived.=20 This is not a likely possibility. Notes frequently survive destruction operations conducted in the field by available personnel. In such cases where notes are invalid, destruction personnel invariably keep a few souvenirs. This is much less likely at the Bureau. However, there is a little bit of supporting evidence for the theory that some of the notes escaped destruction. Some savings bonds in the 1960s were turned over to a contractor for destruction and found their way into collections so it is not impossible to escape from government hands. There is one other tantalizing tidbit. The 5=A2 denomination is very common in uncirculated condition. In the 1970s someone had a small suitcase of bundles of these notes at a convention of the American Numismatic Association. The fellow offered the notes for sale, but no sale could be verified and the hoard has not been heard from since. Is it possible that these bundles were from the group that should have been destroyed? Again, it is not likely. It is more likely that the hoard survived destruction in the field rather than at the Bureau, but we cannot say for sure. Soviet overprints in RVN By Howard Daniel, III I am VERY interested in any Soviet/Russian overprinted/overstamped "currency" because I ahve heard rumors in Viet Nam that some of it was and/or is being used at the still currently active Russian base at Cam Ranh Bay. I have been told they are only rumors and not fact, but I am VERY interested in knowing about any modern Soviet/Russian "military" scrip, currency or whatever, because it might have been used in Viet Nam. I think it is too late for Viet Nam to become the largest wholesaler of USA MPC. MPC was absolutely everywhere a few years ago, as were club tokens, but large groups are not seen anymore today. I will be in Southeast Asia for a month again this year, and I will have about ten days in Viet Nam. I will let everyone know through the MPCGram and my Southeast Asia column in World Coin News about what I find there and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D Editorial ---------------------------------------------------- The 300th Gram will be published next week.

But Fred says in the BNR article that the fractionals were 25c and 50c. He failed to let his in-house copyreader review the article before sending it to BNR. Joe Dear Joe, It seems to me that you have missed the point. Two different notes, both with denominations 75c and 25=A2 on the two sides must both be 50=A2 notes! Editor Dear Gram, The more I read about the MPC Fest, the more sorry I am that I didn't make it. It'll be a priority next year! .
