What Are MPC’s?

Series 521 Five Dollar Military Payment Certificate Value

These small, colorful payment certificates are not as popular among the collector base as they once were. Military Payment Certificates (MPC’s) were once used by Military personnel while serving overseas in order to purchase goods at their stationed base. The lowest denomination MPC is five cents, and the highest twenty dollars. Since these were used by the Military overseas, you’re able to find these banknotes in collections all around the world. Typically we’re approached by customers who were given these as a gift from relatives.

What Is My Military Payment Certificate Worth?

When it comes to the value of your MPC there are many factors we must take into consideration. Condition is a pivotal factor when figuring out how much your MPC is worth. The better condition your banknote is in, the more money it will be worth regardless of type, issue, or denomination.

These MPCs were printed in denominations as low as five cents and as high as twenty dollars. Most people serving in the Military didn’t readily have $5, $10, and $20 MPCs laying around to use at their leisure. The scarcity along with the sheer lack of high denomination MPCs printed makes them difficult to acquire today. The higher the denomination and the better the condition, the more valuable your bill is going to be worth.

The market for these payment certificates was once booming before the market crash of 2007 / 2008. For some reason, people loved collecting these notes and the prices sky-rocketed on many different issues MPCs. Since the crash, the market for these beautiful bills has never been the same. Sure, the market is not entirely depleted as there are a small number of serious collectors left. But it’s definitely nothing compared to what it used to be.

How Do I Know if My MPC is Rare?

Series 661 Twenty Dollar Military Payment Certificate Value

If you haven’t noticed already, all MPC bills come with a Series number located in at least one position on the bill. The series number is an identifier of when the bill was issued. Different series were printed at different times, and in different quantities. Typically the lower number of bills printed for an MPC issue, the more valuable the bills going to be worth.

Every bill comes with a serial number that includes numbers along with a prefix letter and a suffix letter. In rare instances, the note will be missing a suffix letter. This is what is known as a replacement note. A replacement, also known as a star note on regularly issued banknotes, is a note replacing a bill that was printed with an error or defect. Replacement notes are rare because not many of them were printed.
