<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WEG, post: 1256950, member: 32893&quot;]Clayirving, nice examples of overprints. The first is actually a Japanese note (JIM-Japanese Invasion Money) for use in the occupied Netherlands East Indies. I believe Japan printed JIM for all countries they occupied during WWII for the purpose of gaining economic control. They organized the so-called &quot;Co-Prosperity Sphere&quot; through which the economic influence of Japan was to reign supreme.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your Netherlands JIM with the Islamic overprint is the first I&#039;ve seen. I like it, now there is at least one more note I want to find.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Isn&#039;t the Central Bank Victory a double overprint? The first being &quot;VICTORY&quot;, and the second overprint being &quot;CENTRAL BANK OF THE PHILIPPINES&quot;? Two seperate overprints.</p><p><br /></p><p>To try to answer the OP, Philippine paper currency is a broad topic I don&#039;t think there is one single book that covers all Philippine currency; it seems to require a small library. The books I use are: Standard Catalog of World Paper Money-SPECIALIZED ISSUES</p><p>Standard Catalog of World Paper Money-GENERAL ISSUES (for notes before 1960)</p><p>WORLD WAR II REMEMBERED by C. Frederick Schwan and Joseph E. Boling</p><p>and the first book I picked up, A Guide Book of Philippine Paper Money by Neil Shafer. I believe this one went out of print in 1964 but I&#039;ve seen it on ebay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
