<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clinker, post: 165732, member: 6229&quot;]Hey everybody,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>thanks for your comments. These Japanese Occupation Fen and 5-Fen coins were struck for circulation as coins, not as tokens for food, gas or bus rationing, but as you all are comparing business struck coins and tokens here&#039;s an excerpt from the U.S.A. Office of Price Administration&#039;s information guide: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;All RED and BLUE stamps in War Ration Book 4 are Worth 10 POINTS EACH. RED and BLUE TOKENS are WORTH 1 POINT EACH. RED and BLUE TOKENS are used to make CHANGE for RED and BLUE stamps only when purchase is made. IMPORTANT! POINT VALUES of BROWN and GREEN STAMPS are NOT changed.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This government announcement was directed to the Home Front consumer during World War II. Mastering the language of rationing and living under its draconian rules became a necessary evil on the the road to victory.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Clinker[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
