pennycollecter93 Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 11/13/2012 5:56 pm My brother came home from work from his paper shredding company. I guess his boss was about to shred some Japanese peso bills, when my brother asked to take them off his hands since he didn't want them. I'm not familiar with them, but I googled around a little bit and found out they were Philippine currency when japan occupied them during WWII. is there anything else you could teach me and if there is any certain bills to look for/worth the most? thank you Report this Post to the Staff

You can find JIM printed for various territories the Japanese occupied during the war: Burma (cents and rupees), Malaya (cents and dollars), Philippines (centavos and pesos), Indonesia (cents and gulden, in Dutch, and later roepiah in Indonesian) and Oceania (New Guinea/Solomon Islands, in shillings and pounds). There are plenty of old threads here on the forum about them, such as this one. 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

That of course depends on condition, denomination, some varieties. The best thing to do is post pics. Report this Post to the Staff
