    Does anyone know how much these 3 bills might be worth and some history behind them?

    These are actual scans of the notes.

    My gut feeling without having reference materials in front of me is probably a few bucks.

    Hopefully, I'm totally wrong.

    It might be easier to tell, if you posted imsages of your notes.

    I believe the top 2 notes are J-42 and J-39... the bottom two notes are in a different book.. and i am 2 doggone tired to look for it lol

    In other words, the picture does not depict your note. That means the pictures are of no assistance in valuing your notes, since condition is extremely important.

    The WW II Japanese Phillipine Occupation note is #13-79 in the Japanese Numismatic Dealers Assn. catalog. In the pristine condition of your picture the 2009 edition values it at ¥300 (US$3.02), but in a crumpled/faded condition it could be worth ¥100 (US$1.01) or less.

    The letters which vary between your own notes and the pictures you found somewhere are printing series indicators, and usually have no effect on currency values.

    What am I missing? My screen shows a 1945 Republic of China 5,000 Yuan, a 1944 Republic of China 10,000 Yuan, and the undated Japanese note I responded about. What's the fourth one?????

    Im probably the one missing something :) I looked at his pics, and used this site to look up the notes. I just found it late last week, so i have yet to verify the pick #'s assigned to the notes to see if they are accurate or not. Apparently, i looked at the wrong notes?? :)

    I was able to get the notes scanned and have replaced the images in the original post with the scans. Thanks for all the quick replies.

    Crumpled + tattered edges + bent corners +large stain = <¥100. Sorry about that.
