Military Payment Certificate (MPC) Series 651 $10 Grades xf+. Series 651 military payment certificates are a strange issue. Only about 53 million in face value was even issued. They were initially released on April 28th, 1969. They were withdrawn in Japan just twenty days later. The withdrawal date in Libya was June 11th, 1969. However, they were allowed to circulate in Korea until November 19th, 1973. Those are also the only three countries in which series 651 MPCs were issued. The strange thing about these is that the fractional notes are actually rarer than the whole dollar amount notes ($1, $5, and $10) However All Series 651 are all scarce. Apparently fractional notes were only issued in Japan and Libya.
