<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andy, post: 30279, member: 645&quot;]&quot; That&#039;s a fairly broad field in its own right. 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,...&quot; Roy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Did the Japanese Government plan to occupy Australia during World War 2? Were they so confident that they had gone to the extent of producing their own version of currency to be used in Australia? At that time, Australia used Pounds, Shillings and Pence as its currency.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Japanese produced Occupation Money in a variety of notes such as Guilders, Pesos, Dollars and Pounds. The Pound notes had in fact been produced by the Japanese for use in the British Islands of the Pacific Ocean (not including Australia) and adjacent seas, including New Guinea, rather than as part of a &quot;planned occupation&quot; of Australia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Philippines Centavos and Pesos </p><p>Malaya, Singapore and Straits Colonies Dollars and Cents </p><p>Netherlands East Indies (now Indonesia) Guilders and Cents </p><p>British Islands in the Pacific and adjacent seas, including New Guinea Pounds and Shillings </p><p><br /></p><p>For the record the above is not in my words but a copy and paste, if my words were used I&#039;m sure it would be better said but so be it.&nbsp; I really love this site for I had bills in mint condition laying in a box in my air conditioned closet for years and years and it wasn&#039;t till now after reading Roy&#039;s post that I did some research on it.</p><p>Below is an example of a 1/2 shilling if anyone is interested it is not mine but almost in as good condition as mine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
