<p>[QUOTE="Hommer, post: 2626282, member: 73266"]I read somewhere once that it took something like 75 Japanese Pesos to buy an egg. Unlike the US Peso that had silver backing it, the Japanese Pesos had nothing. The different provinces in the Philippines, started printing their own currency which is now called "guerilla currency" as a result. It is a bit harder to find in good condition, I suspect because in was hidden where ever and traded frequently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
