Bien Hoa Air Base - EM Open Mess United States Air Force $5.00 Token - Pre 1968 Bien Hoa AIr Base - Enlisted Mens, Open Mess $ 5.00 - Token, MPC, Coin Magnificently rare Piece - One Only Available and do not expect to come across one of these again. Utilised pre 1968 and for use in Enlisted Men's Open Mess at Bien Hoa Air Base and surrounding barracks area's (Long Binh etc) and accepted at Tan Son Nhut, Saigon. Excellent & Rare Superb Condition $5.00 - Hihghest denomination of Token / Coin (MPC) Issued for use One Only Available First time offered for sale Note: These large MPC's Token replacement coins are incredibly difficult to come across. With the introduction of the 5c, 10c and 25c Tokens these pieces became obsolete and were generally discarded. Very tightly held this is only the second time I have seen one of these and this item is in incredible condition. Piece measures 1.2 inches across ( 3.2 cms ), first time offered for sale. Please note. I do not grade banknotes or coins. Photo's shown back and front, with and without flash on differing backgrounds of same coin shown. These coins / tokens were used in lieu of Military Payment certificates (that only came in note form) in Mess halls, Clubs and machines. Highly collectable and with ever increasing values the expectation of value (and in many cases already achieved) in coming years is that they will surpass the value of tokens from POW Camps of WWII.
