<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 30174, member: 669&quot;]That&#039;s a fairly broad field in its own right.&nbsp; The Japanese Numismatic Dealers Association annual catalogs list a wide variety of notes in yuan, gulden, rupees, dollars, pesos and pounds, together with fractional notes in chiao, cents, centavos, shillings, etc., categorized as Military Notes of the Pacific War, Occupied Territories Notes, and Occupied U.S. Army Notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>A closely related numismatic collectible is MPC (Military Payment Certificates).&nbsp; Those were&nbsp; colorful notes in different sizes for every denomination from 5¢ to $20, issued as payment to the troops and affiliated civilians in various war zones.&nbsp; A new issue of MPC could replace the ones in use literally overnight, instantly wiping out the value of any held by unauthorized persons.&nbsp; As a result greenbacks had a much higher black market value. </p><p><br /></p><p>The issue in use when I rotated home from Japan in 1955 had a particularly Monopoly Money look to it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
