Floyd65 New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 10/09/2011 06:55 am I have had the following note since my grandfather died in 1987, he always kept it in his wallet. Over the years I had forgotten about it but came across it recently, have not been able to identify it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Oh, forgot to mention, the size is 10"x7" (25.3x17.7cm) Report this Post to the Staff

This older thread has some more examples, though the pics aren't as clear. These bonds did, however, serve in a limited way as money, since everyone in Japan working for the government was forced to accept half of their salary in the form of these bonds rather than in cash. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Floyd65 New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 10/10/2011 1:27 pm Thank you, very much appreciated, no wonder I couldn't find it under 'banknotes'. I do wonder why my grandfather had it though, as he was in a restricted job during WW2, so did not serve overseas, food for thought. Report this Post to the Staff
