ASLAN TVorlon Pillar of the Community United States 1234 Posts	Posted 01/01/2014 2:31 pm WOW That is a lot of paper. I have some very similar ones, my dad sent away for them in the 80's, you have so many pictures here it might help to split them and repost 2-3 different posts. I'm not seeing anything overly spectacular but I'm no expert on coins and mostly a novice on paper notes. Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 01/02/2014 04:59 am 1. Japanese Occupation note for use in the Philippines. 1 Peso ND(1942). Ref. 106a. 0.50c? But the counter stamp might make it more interesting. Looks like "Received for Safe Keeping." Which ‘might' suggest it was redeemed after the war. 2. Japanese Occupation for use in Malaya. 10 Dollars ND(1942-44). About $2.50. Ref. M7b. 3. China 10 Yuan 1936 Ref. 213c (and I suggest that the Krause catalog is wrong). 0.50c? 4. Great Britain 10 Shillings ND(1960-1970). Ref. 373b. $2? 5. Great Britain 1 Pound ND(1960-1977). Ref. 374c. $2? 6. Trinidad and Tobago 1 Dollar 1964. Ref. 26c. $3-4? 7. Trinidad and Tobago 5 Dollars 1964. Ref. 27c. $3-4? 8. Germany 1,000 Mark 1922. Ref. 76a-h depending on watermark. $2? 9. Austria 20 Heller. This is a Notgeld issued by numerous towns in the 1920s. Value no idea. 10. Laos 5 Kip ND(1962). Ref. 9b. $1? 11. Biafra 1 Pound ND(1968-1969). Ref. 5a. $2? 12. Bulgaria 3 Leva 1951. Ref. 81a. 0.25c? 13. India 1 Rupee 1974. Ref. 77n. $3? 14. Indonesia 2 ½ Rupiah 1968. Ref. 103a. $2.50? 15. Venezuela 5 Bolivares 1973. Ref. 50g. 0.25c? 16. Bahamas 1 Dollar 1965. Ref. 18b. $60-70? Definitely the pick of the bunch. 17. China or Taiwan. I'll leave the last one for you to track down. Try this site http://www.banknote.ws/ for ID and then this one http://worldbanknotegallery.com/ for approx. value.

Which ‘might' suggest it was redeemed after the war. The stamp is the fairly standard - and very common - JAPWANCAP stamp; it does not add any value, it does not detract value either. The Japanese War Note Claimants Association of the Philippines was an organization attempting to obtain full face value of the Japanese occupation notes by taking the Philippine, Japanese and/or American governments to court. Needless to say, they failed, and the stamped notes were eventually sold off as collectables. They get a mention on the Wikipedia page for Japanese Invasion Money. 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

lettow Pillar of the Community United States 742 Posts	Posted 01/03/2014 10:38 am Thank you for posting the larger picture of the one peso note. I wanted to see if it was an Allied counterfeit but it is not one. The diagnostic is in the upper left counter. In the picture below, the genuine note is on the left and the counterfeit on the right.

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 12:32 pm I had no idea the Allies counterfeited as well. War is war, all players are evil. Sap, I think our collective IQ points jump about 10 points whenever you post. Thank you as always. Report this Post to the Staff
