okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 02/27/2007 5:18 pm I am a US coin collector and I know nothing about currency, but I was helping a friend get ready for a garage sale and she had an old candy box full of old foreign currency The box had a label that said "Paper Invasion Money - WWII". There are French Money, Germany, Japan, Phillipines under Japanese rule and several other european countries. The oldest date I saw was a German Bill with 1922. How do I find out if any of this stuff has value? Also included were three Confederate Notes that look real, One Five Dollar and two Twenty Dollar Bills minted in Richmond Virginia. I gave her $10 which was what she was going to ask in the sale. Any ideas? Colin Report this Post to the Staff

okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 02/27/2007 10:09 pm Yes I have all those except the Yen note. There are a lot more besides including several different German Reichsbank note and Reichsmark bills. The oldest of those is 1910. I think many of these are occupation money, military script and some British Military Authority notes. There is a ton of this stuff and a great variety. Historically interesting, but is any of it worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff

okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 02/28/2007 12:40 am Thanks Scoutjim! I have several of the ones you show and some others I did not see in your collection. I also found the same notes as a few of mine on ebay. Most have no bids. I guess there was a huge amount of this occupation currency saved and it has little value? The three Confederate notes I received in the box I do believe are somewhat valuable. The 5$ note apperas to be retailing for around $75 and the two $20 notes around $50. Guess I did OK for ten dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
