basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 03/19/2007 1:31 pm Found about a dozen or so notes when cleaning out my grandfather's house, most appear from early WWII and are European, somehow this one got in the mix, only had an Uncle in WWII and don't think he transfer theaters to the far east, origin is a guess, but can anyone tell me something about it?

-JJH- Valued Member Finland 79 Posts	Posted 03/20/2007 02:59 am Looks like a 10 Yen note, issued by japanese in China. Thus, this is occupational currency. Although I do not have my books at hand, it looks like early issue, issued somewhere around 1938 - 1940. Value isn't much, I bought mine for 2.30 euros or US $3. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 03/20/2007 03:26 am Your note is slightly different to the one in scoutjim's note in this thread. See the bold red overprint? That translates to "military note". These notes were used in Japanese-occupied China, particularly Hong Kong. My old book values it at $1.75; JJH's values are probably fairly accurate. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
