<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug5353, post: 2171978, member: 73555&quot;]Not exactly.&nbsp; Find a copy of Pick&#039;s currency catalog (about like Krause) and make some notes about Philippines, Malaya, etc.&nbsp; About 3% of the various notes are worth over $100, due to overprints or markings or other minor varieties.&nbsp; Everyone &quot;thinks&quot; they&#039;re all worthless.&nbsp; But there are plenty of counterfeits floating around, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, those overprinted (in Japanese) &quot;Mi-hon&quot; (specimen) run $100+ 20 years ago, even the lowly 5 and 10 centavos.&nbsp; Some high denominations are simply unpriced.&nbsp; There are also essays of invasion currency never intended for circulation - big bucks.&nbsp; You would never know which ones without a catalog.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good place to mention a 1950s postwar scam - there were invasion notes for Malaya denominated in dollars (the actual local currency).&nbsp; Scammers bought them up and claimed they were issued in preparation for an invasion of the United States.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
