De Orc Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yep they were issued by the Japanese occupying forces when they invaded & took over the Phillapines the 100p note that is shown above is counterstamped by a group who hoped to be able to redeem them (This was after the war) I have quite a few Jim notes in my collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echizento Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 In the Philippines, the Filpinos called these notes "Mickey Mouse Money" and for the most part refused to us it. Most towns and regions printed there own emergency and guerrilla currency. Most Japanese occupation currency has a value @$3-4.00 in UNC condition.
