Make an offer

This 10-dollar bill, issued by the United States, is a Military Payment Certificate (MPC) from the 611 series, dating from 1964.

The front of the bill is predominantly green. It features an allegorical female figure, draped and seated, symbolizing Liberty or Justice. She holds a sword in one hand and a balance in the other. Geometric patterns and stars also adorn this side.

The back of the bill is also green. It features a complex pattern of intersecting lines and geometric shapes. The face value, "TEN DOLLARS", is clearly indicated in words.

This type of bill was used by the U.S. armed forces abroad, in areas where the local currency was unstable or subject to restrictions. MPCs allowed for the control of military spending and the avoidance of the black market. The 611 series was in circulation for a specific period and was subsequently withdrawn and invalidated, making it a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.

The bill has specific dimensions, with a length of 156 mm and a width of 66 mm. It is important to note that the condition of the bill can vary considerably from one to another, which influences its numismatic value.
