<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clinker, post: 1542740, member: 6229&quot;]Today I want you to become aware of a very heroic accomplishment by the Malay Commissioners of Currency.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This tiny nation, overrun by Japanese statesmen and military personnel, watched most of their formerly minted coinage be confiscated and shipped off to Japan for Japan&#039;s war usage, still, clandestinely managed to strike coins with denominations of 1-cent, 5-cent, 10-cent and 20-cent in 1943 (the first year of Japanese occupation of the tiny nation) and, again, in 1945, a few months before the Japanese surrendered to the allies and left the nation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Get your <b>2007</b> <b>World Coins 1901 to 2000 </b>coin catalog and turn to Malaya. There they are: bronze square-shaped 1-cent pieces (KM6), silver round 5-cent (KM3a), 10-cent (KM4a), and 20-cent (KM5a) coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Be it further known that in 1943 all denominations were also struck in proof!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You gotta admire them!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Clinker[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
