<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave M, post: 770599, member: 17469&quot;]Thanks for the presentation! I&#039;ve got a couple questions, maybe you&#039;ll know the answers.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I see WWII notes like these, issued in the USA, denominated in USD, to be used in the European Theatre. Then I see notes also printed by Forbes during WWII, denominated in French Francs, called Allied Military Currency, pictured below:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.frenchbanknotes.com/france/images/f-16-1-a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And then I also see what Pick calls &quot;Government Notes&quot;, printed in various other places, most commonly the English note below:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.frenchbanknotes.com/france/images/f-11-a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Do you know the story behind these three different sources of banknotes at the time? Were they used for three different purposes, by three different types of military personnel? Were they used by (in this example) the French citizens, who&#039;s economy was a mess at the time?</p><p><br /></p><p>Dave[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
