Here, another top 10 nominee Series 661 $10 in PCGS 67PPQ above rare !! Population: 4,800,000 seldom seen in any grade let alone this high, only one higher !!
In sticking with the same Series 661 this $20 example is the one and only 68PPQ with none higher !! a true rarity example, another fact this is the first series to incorporate the $20 denomination which adds extra value to an already valuable Note, i have owned this note for over 10 ten years and have turned down $8,000 from three different collectors.
All these answers are correct. 1. 461 and 462. 2. Japan 3. Series 100 Allied Military Currency (AMC) whether A yen, B yen, lire, marks, schillings have nothing to do with MPC other than the fact that A yen were used as the experimental series. AMC is occupation currency designed to be used on the local economy. MPC is military scrip designed to keep military pay separate from the local economy. They serve two very different purposes. AMC A yen were drafted into the role of the experimental series because it was available. When it was printed it was not intended to be used in this manner. JWT80, congratulations and PM me your address so I can send along your prize.
do we have an MPC or occupation currency niche? for any country? The Japan series 100 caught my eye..
