yellow88 Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 01/13/2021 01:59 am WW2 Psywar ND Japan 10 Yen US Propaganda Leaflet Block 1124 S/N 450941 During World War II American planes commenced dropping propaganda leaflets on the Japanese homeland once they came within bombing range. Many leaflets took the form of currently circulating 10 yen bank notes. Each authentic looking note, when picked up, revealed a message on its back intended to undermine the morale of the civilian population. All notes in this series have the same serial and block number. The four different propaganda messages each bear a code number on the reverse. The code numbers range from 2009 to 2016. I thought the Coin Community Forum may like to see these. I am also curious as to what an estimated value for each may be. Thank you. The first example is code umber 2016 and the second example is code number 2009. Report this Post to the Staff

They tended to sell quickly, so I might have been low, but that fact that I've had 3-4 of them without seeking them out over the past 10 years tells me that they are scarce but not rare.

The military caste has been spending an awful lot of your money. 5000 Yen per individual person for this war. The longer the war endures, the more of your money the militarists will waste." Code 2016 "Factory workers!" Until now, you workers earned a great deal of money. But of what use is it to you? Your purchasing power is no different from that of this 10 Yen bill. You who exert all of your efforts in the production of war weapons should also be regarded as soldiers. You are the soldiers of armament production. But can you buy as much rice and beer as the soldiers? Can you purchase the commodities that soldiers and their families can buy with their special rations? Report this Post to the Staff
