Dave L Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 9:27 pm This is one of those notes I've always liked but never got. The serial numbers are the wrong color though, and look chemically altered. Perhaps it was done during a cleaning process. Report this Post to the Staff
Bella99 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 9:40 pm @Dave L Yes I noticed the numbers coloring was off. Quite irritating someone would do that to such a note. Can't wait for it to arrive though. Report this Post to the Staff

Bella99 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 04/10/2020 01:09 am So what exactly makes these valuable? There are 2 still out there currently. A 1 dollar version they're asking for close to $200 that is not in the greatest condition, and a 5 yuan in pretty nice condition that is also over 100$. Report this Post to the Staff

They certainly aren't rare, as I see them for sale often enough online. There are some other notes issued by the Japanese Occupation of China that have a dragon on them that are much much less expensive, and you may want to look at China Military notes under the Japanese Occupation rather than the China Puppet Banks to find a cheaper dragon note. Those that you have, however, always seem to carry a premium. When perusing online, you may find one the seller hasn't researched enough. Some of these style notes I've got from the 'junk box' at coin dealers... I rarely go to a coin shop though, so it's been a while. Report this Post to the Staff
