<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 692292, member: 6986&quot;]It is probable that the 1938 dated notes were also printed during the war as they needed some form of currency.&nbsp; My comment about these notes not being listed in WWII Remembered relates to the fact that the authors chose not to list notes in the book that were part of a series that were issued prior to the war but may have been issued during the war unless there was some change to the note or other connection relating directly to the war.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an example.&nbsp; The US printed notes for the Philippines that were dated and issued in 1941 prior to December 7.&nbsp; These notes are not listed in the book.&nbsp; During the war, special notes from this series were printed and used in US Navy aviators survival packets.&nbsp; Other notes from the 1941 and 1936 series of Philippine notes were printed and artificially aged.&nbsp; These notes were smuggled into the country to pay operatives in the Philippines.&nbsp; Both of these types of notes can be identified by serial number.&nbsp; These notes are in the book.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are some Russian POW notes (extremely scarce), specimen examples of Japanese Invasion Money intended for Russia, notes issued by the German backed government of the Ukraine and others.&nbsp; There are also notes issued by the Russians for use in other countries like the Red Army notes for Hungary, Manchuria and North Korea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
