<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3774409, member: 99642&quot;]I&#039;ve got some of these myself.&nbsp; I also collect Occupation Currency such as the Japanese Pesos, Gulders and such. I&#039;ve read that the U.S. counterfeited an enormous amount of the Japanese Occupation Money, especially for the Philippines currency.</p><p>I&#039;d really like to know how to tell the real from the fake in those notes. I actually would like to have some of both, but I want to be able to tell them apart.</p><p>I won a few eBay auctions that had some Japanese Philippine notes, and they were stamped in black as being evidence in a lawsuit against the U.S. for having flooded the Philippines with fake Japanese Occupation notes and thus causing great economic damage to the businesses there. So of course, being stamped, these are known fakes.</p><p>Since these notes were counterfeited by our own government, they must be really hard to tell apart, although I would think our government <i>might</i> put something on or in those notes to make them easier to recover and remove from circulation after the war, but again, I think I remember reading that the fact that they did not do that, is part of the basis for the lawsuit.</p><p>Any knowledge on those?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
