I was talking a couple of days ago with a dealer of postcards/coins etc who mentioned that just after WW2 some celluloid notes were issued by the allies. From what he said it sounded like occupation money for allied soldiers.

I have some paper occupation money, but have no knowledge about any in celluloid. Does anyone have any information, or better still, pictures?

Thanks in advance.
