Request for Reissuance in Dollars of Checks Drawn in Vietnamese Piasters

A company requested reconsideration of a decision denying its request for reissuance in U.S. dollars of checks drawn in Vietnamese piasters. In the absence of Government records to prove the validity of the claim, the claimant must furnish evidence of its right to be paid. The checks issued by the Government were satisfactory evidence that the claim had been paid. Although the contract with the claimant provided for payment in dollars, the claimant's request to be paid in piasters was binding on the claimant once the Government complied with its request.
