gxseries Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Most definately unusual - makes me wonder if Mainer that posts in banknotebank.com actually has such notes as he owns pretty much the entire US-Phillipino occupational notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Lot's of them. You should go to Banknotebank.com and check out the collection of Philippine notes there. The Philippine Islands are the largest represented country due to their WWII notes of this and other styles. Nonamateur, Mainer, & Pinoynotes, have the largest number of them, with Mainer having the majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echizento Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 This is a 1943 5 Peso Municipal Issues from Balangiga in the provence of Samar, Phillippines. These were different from the Government authorized Provinical issues in that they were made by local municipalities and after the war were not subject to pay back like the provinical notes were. Ref# SMR-187 There is an excellent reference about these war time issues. "Philippine Emergency And Guerrilla Currency of World War II; by Neil Shafer. " Don't know if the book is still in print. I have a 1st edtion dated 1974. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufelika Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 The Shafer book has not been updated since the first edition. Although much has been found since the book was published, it is the only source for the local notes. It is out of print an often fetches more than a couple bucks when they come up.
