I was in a tiny unit in Nam so we did not make or get such plaques but many guys make their own on a framed velvet covered board with medals, rank insignia, qualification badges, etc pinned on. You don't need to get these reissued...you can just buy them at any number of online sites which Google will find for you.
Personally I see no way to tell what was on that plaque just from a glue mark.
The money was referred to as 'script' and was changed every so often to keep the Vietnamese from using our money for illegal stuff. You could not possess US currency in Nam.

That #would be on his discharge papers?
