<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 702035, member: 6986&quot;]The Japanese Government notes denominated in the LSD system were issued for the occupation of the portions of British Oceania (the islands near Australia like New Guinea) by the Japanese.&nbsp; While they are not scarce, they are less common than the notes issued for other Japanese occupied areas.</p><p><br /></p><p>LSD is the shorthand for the old British currency system:</p><p><br /></p><p>Libra (Pound)</p><p>Shilling</p><p>Denarii (Penny)</p><p><br /></p><p>There are contemporary and later reprints of these notes which are less common than the originals.&nbsp; There are two types of reprints.&nbsp; One is obvious because they say REPLICA on the back.&nbsp; These were made during WWII in Australia as souvenirs.&nbsp; The other type can be identified by the shape of the framing around the number 1 on the left side of the note.&nbsp; On genuine notes this shape is rounded.&nbsp; On reprints, it is star shaped similar to the device on the back.&nbsp; I will post pictures later this weekend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
