<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MEC2, post: 1727752, member: 38692&quot;]Thanks for the inside info lettow, nice to know somebody reads my spiel on these new notes! I think the SoL is right up there with standing for the court to not deal with things it doesn&#039;t want to deal with. I did like hearing the aspect though of currency devaluation due to the counterfeiting - the interesting part about the counterfeiting is I believe they did it with a real plate that had been stolen, so the counterfeits were &quot;real&quot; counterfeits... still, no way they were going to monetize anything related to occupation currency. You&#039;d think not living in the brutal Empire of Japan and subsequent self-rule would have been recompense enough...</p><p><br /></p><p>I think folks tried something similar after the Civil War, but the US was having non of that nonsense. </p><p><br /></p><p>So since this is so interesting why not post another new pickup of JIM (Japanese Invasion Money)? Another design I liked, like the purple, and though it doesn&#039;t have the engraving quality typical of BEP and ABNCo and company they did again borrow design elements from them so it has the look and feel of the earlier US releases for the Philippines (the US 500 Peso also had purple). This 500 Peso note again has the Rizal monument and another interesting bit is the large denomination and lack of serial number represents a giant give up in terms of battling inflation. No serial means we are gonna print the **** out of these things and nobody will know how much paper we are flooding. Wonder when the Fed will pull this trick?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Philippines/500JIMF_zps8139b975.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Philippines/500JIMB_zpsb7e404fe.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
