<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave L, post: 2199543, member: 26285&quot;]It&#039;s possible,&nbsp; Manymore. The thing is, that I have cross referenced from other sites and published works, but not knowing Japanese, or even people who are Japanese who would be able to translate old notes, it is a difficult task to perfect the translations. Some used Different Chinese script, some used traditional script some used printed designs some were hand written, etc.&nbsp; as I said, they are difficult to pin down, and not just in dates, but denominations, places ... well, dang near everything. I do not know Japanese either, and I don&#039;t think studying Japanese would be enough to give detailed insight to these notes. I think one needs to have a historic and cultural understanding beyond knowing basic numbering systems used for denominations and dating practices.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, these were typically used in exchange for commodities as well, such as a monme of fish, tea, oils, briquettes etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone has more info, please feel free to add it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
