<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MEC2, post: 1727936, member: 38692&quot;]I would swear I read that a set of plates was stolen (not conflating CSA stories, swear it was a JIM Philippines plate) and used to print fake notes at least of one or more denominations - but that&#039;s recollection and subject to just being flat wrong. As to monetization it means just that - giving value to the currency (after it was demonetized). Actually, it could be argued as remonetization - but I&#039;d in fact argue that it can only be remonetized if it was previously monetized by the same authority, and since JIM was not, it would have to be monetized twice - the first time by Imperial Japan, the second time by the US or subsequently the Philippines independent government. I did not realize they declared even US issues as valueless - I imagine that hit some poor folks pretty hard. </p><p><br /></p><p>It should be illegal to post in this thread without a new pickup image, so I am only complying with the law when I post this note...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Philippines/JIM10PEF_zpsa4a8807b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Philippines/JIM10PEB_zps60e51de5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
