scopru Pillar of the Community United States 5029 Posts	Posted 12/08/2017 8:21 pm I like that. I also like the looks of the one behind it. Your note is affectionately known as the B Yen. And yes the military notes certainly have a cool story. Report this Post to the Staff

paxbrit Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 12/14/2017 3:19 pm The B Yen was for Okinawa, being Japanese soil. The A Yen were for Japan and Korea. The purchasing power of 20 Yen in 1945 was pretty good, although not worth nearly as much as a can of soup or tuna fish. Report this Post to the Staff

lettow Pillar of the Community United States 742 Posts	Posted 12/15/2017 1:55 pm B yen was used on the Japanese mainland as well as Okinawa. A yen was used very briefly in Korea before being withdrawn. A yen was then used as the experimental Military Payment Certificates in Japan and valid only for use by US military personnel at US military establishments prior to MPC being introduced in September 1946. A yen was never used in the Japanese economy. Report this Post to the Staff
