SERIES 692 UNUSUAL VOIDED MILITARY US CURRENCY 1970-1973

Description

SERIES 692 US MILITARY CURRENCY BILL.
MILITARY NOTE IS VERY UNUSUAL AND IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE SEEN THAT IS STAMPED ON BOTH SIDES "NOT NEGOTIABLE, VOID, VALID AS EVIDENCE ONLY"
.
IT ALSO HAS AS YOU CAN SEE WRITTEN ON IT 500.00 ON THE OBVERSE AND 1800 AND 27-7-72 AND 3 INITIALS ON THE REVERSE. I AM OR WAS A COIN AND CURRENCY DEALER AND ASKED A FEW PEOPLE WHO DEAL IN CURRENCY AND NO ONE ON A DEALER NETWORK HAD EVER SEEN ONE BUT I DID GET ONE RESPONSE. A FORMER VIETNAM VET SAID THAT AS EXPLAINED BY A COUPLE OF HIS FRIENDS AS THEY WERE GETTING OUT OF DUTY THEY WERE ALLOWED TO CASH IN THEIR MILITARY PAYMENTS FOR US CURRENCY AND HE SAID THE MP'S WERE VOIDED.
I have now heard another story that when Vietnam was overtaken the exit was so quick that some of these voided ones were left behind and showed up a few years later through a coin dealer. I don't know what is true. I also heard they were also used in South Korea till they were expired.
ISSUED  10/7/1970 TO 3/15/1973-VIETNAM ERA
I WOULD GRADE IT AS VG/FINE BUT I SEE TWO STAPLE HOLES ON THE RIGHT CENTER OF THE BILL. ON THE REVERSE I SEE WHAT I THOUGHT WAS 4 OR 5 CANCELLATION SPOTS BUT THEY DO NOT GO THROUGH THE NOTE. TO SAY THIS IS AN UNUSUAL BILL IS WHAT I WOULD CALL IT AND SINCE THESE SERIES OF MILITARY PAYMENTS WERE ALL CANCELLED PERHAPS IT MAKES SENSE. PLEASE LOOK A
