Does anyone else use MPC (Military Payment Certificate) aka Military Scrip in their campaign?
this is some of the most basic barebones notes that i have so far... if anyone has more to add please do... and if someone can find reference pictures of what they look like please let me know. The Army and Air Force Exchange Service, the United States Department of Defense's largest and oldest exchange system, distributes pog-like coinage as change at its stores in contingency areas (those supporting Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom). The reason for adopting pogs as currency was that supply flights overseas had limited capacity and high costs. Metal coinage weighs significantly more than the paper pogs, which are also much thinner than standard pogs. However, since only Congress can order US currency made and the pogs stay within the AAFES system, they are "gift certificates" instead of currency. While they are only issued in contingency areas, they are redeemable at any AAFES store worldwide. British military forces deployed in the southern portion of Iraq in the vicinity of Basra utilize their own version of pogs in their establishments. They are constructed of plastic and circulate freely alongside AAFES pogs. AAFES Pogs: These are small plastic disks with a picture on one side, and the amount of the military payment certificate on the other. 1¢ (Red) ONE CENT 5¢ (Orange) FIVE CENTS 10¢ (Yellow) TEN CENTS 25¢ (Green) TWENTY-FIVE CENTS 50¢ (Blue) FIFTY CENTS $1 (Indigo) ONE DOLLAR $2 (Violet) TWO DOLLARS AAFES Military Scrip: $1 (Blue) ONE DOLLAR $2 (Green) TWO DOLLARS $5 (Orange) FIVE DOLLARS $10 (Violet) TEN DOLLARS $20 (Yellow) TWENTY DOLLARS $50 (Indigo) FIFTY DOLLARS $100 (Red) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR USE ONLY IN UNITED STATES MILITARY ESTABLISHIMENTS BY UNITED STATES AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS White Yellow Green Blue Purple Red Orange Indigo |
