Apologies for not seeing the beginning of this thread, I do have quite a bit leaning towards the money used in Concentration camps, this is a small amount of what I have, which does include U.S. and Japanese paper and coin money from WWII.
I know this is a bit off topic, but I didn't really know where to start. My father served in a Sub during WW II in the South Pacific. He told me a story a long time ago that the administration of the Phillipines was afraid that their State Treasury would be stolen from them by the Japanese. He told me that the Philipine government got the U.S. Navy drop their treasury down the lowest depth of the Pacific. He told me that their Sub was involved in finding a place to put it and the information was Top Secret. He never talked about it until he showed me a letter that he had gotten through the freedom of Information Act that he was finally able to talk about it. Was he pulling my leg? It sounds feasible and the letter looked authentic. (I lost him in an auto accident May 1997 on his birthday.) His coin collection started my interest in coin collecting.
The Philippine Treasury was evacuated on the USS Trout. What could not be loaded was burned or dumped in Manila Bay.
