Can anyone tell me what this purple stamping on the note does either to the note or the value. All I can read is:
THE JAPANESE... RECEIVED FOR... SAFE KEEPING, thanks

The Japanese War Notes Claimants Association of the Philippines Inc. (JAPWANCAP) was an organization set up in the Philippines to try to obtain face value or a reasonable fraction thereof in post-war money for Japanese-issued occupation money. They collected millions of pesos of otherwise-worthless Japanese Invasion Money notes and then (unsuccesfully) tried to take the Philippines, Japanese and US governments to court in their efforts to redeem the notes they held. They get a mention at the end of the Wikipedia article on JIM.

They are an interesting aside to the story of JIM, but last I heard JAPWANCAP stamps made no difference to the value, worth neither more nor less than notes that were not stamped by JAPWANCAP.
