The 4th PSYOP Group produced scrip like this during the Vietnam War as part of a broader effort to demonstrate to South Vietnamese civilians and soldiers what American-style currency looked like — and, more practically, to create materials that could be adapted into propaganda leaflets or training aids. These pieces occupy a genuinely odd corner of military ephemera: not legal tender, not official MPC, but purposeful objects made by a unit whose entire mission was manufactured persuasion.
Blue paper was a deliberate choice — it visually distinguished this material from circulating Military Payment Certificates, which had their own tightly controlled series.
