jetsetter New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 09/04/2006 12:33 am No, it's Sen. I just checked. quote: In an attempt to cope with the increasing demand for currency in wartime and to secure material for currency, the "Temporary Currency Law" was enacted in Showa 13 (1938) as a special law of the "Coins Law." Based on this law, subsidiary coins and 50 sen government banknotes were issued, which were made of new material such as aluminum and tin. http://www.imes.boj.or.jp/cm/englis...story_24.htm Edited by jetsetter 09/04/2006 12:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
