<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2504468, member: 19250&quot;]Hate to burst&nbsp; your bubble but only The silver one peso&nbsp; coins&nbsp; and the&nbsp; 1936 commemoratives were dumped into</p><p>the Manila bay . Mostly 1907- 1912 Pesos&nbsp;&nbsp; to the tune of 15 million of them. The reason was they were silver no bronze of nickel coins were&nbsp; dumped.</p><p>Since the act was done in hast most were just crated and dumped so the Japanese&nbsp; couldn&#039;t&nbsp; get the silver. That&#039;s&nbsp; why these coins that were originally&nbsp; minted in the states have this effect of the salt water. Other coinage&nbsp; as well as paper&nbsp; notes had no use to the Japanese&nbsp; as it had no true value after capture .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
