5 Cents Military
Item Number: 249
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Military Payment Certificates (MPC) were issued from 1946 until 1973. They were printed in fifteen series and used in 22 different countries during that 27 year period. The denominations issued range from as little as five cents all the way up to twenty dollars. Military payment certificates were intended to be used by members of the United States military who were serving overseas. That means that U.S. MPCs can be found all over the world today. They have been very well researched. In most situations we have records of exactly how many were printed and we usually have a pretty good idea of how many are still known to exist. This makes collecting military payment certificates fairly easy.

Donated by Irving Noonday Lions
A Service Club in the Irving area serving since 1957. We have about 40 members and meet weekly at Noon on Wednesday at the Golden Corral Restaurant-1701 N Beltline Rd Irving, TX 75060
The Irving Noon-Day Lions conduct several Vision Clinics during the IISD school year. Students are referrd byn their school nurses through the Head Nurse's Office and come to the Irving YMCA to be screened by an Optomitrist on the Lions Sight & Tissue Foundation Vision Van (a 40 foot Blue Bird equipped with 2 doctor stations and other screening equipment). They pick out a frame and the glasses are then delivered to the school in 3-4 weeks. This provides them with better vision in the classroom which has been shown to improve performance.
