samuel tan Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 06/27/2012 7:45 pm WWII: When the Japanese Soldiers enter Indonesia (at that time Netherlands Indie), they confiscated all metals and rubber tires. A lot of people buried or through silver coins in to the septic tanks. Many people got killed, or forgot where they exactly buried the coins. From time to time people found silver coins and washed them. Many are in AU or UNC condition, some of them has black and green copper crust at face, mostly at the edges. I am sure that happened in other Asian Countries too. Report this Post to the Staff

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 02:14 am Oh, that's where I left my ceramic jug.... It's been ages.... @samuel tan: Great, now I'll never want to own any Indonesian WWII-era coinage. Report this Post to the Staff
samuel tan Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 3:36 pm Libertad, Great, since there is no WWII Indonesian coin, the country was founded after. I am talking about Dutch silver coins, they are legal tender in Nederland Indie until the end of the war. After I washed them it looks and smells good :). The 2 1/2 Gulden is as big as Morgan dollars and the 1 Gulden is between new Dollar and Half Dollar. Report this Post to the Staff
