This listing is for one of the photographed 1944 Japanese 10 Sen Allied Military Currency Notes. Issued by the Allied Military forces in Japan during World War II. Notes are from the B block and 100 series of Japanese Allied Military notes. Choice of grade/condition. P#63 (Pick Number 63).
Allied Military Currency was issued in newly occupied lands of the Allies during WWII in order to gain monetary control. The Allies issued both "A Yen" and "B Yen" in Japan and surrounding areas as a part of this effort. "A Yen" was restricted for military use only, whereas "B Yen" was used by local civilians. "A Yen" was only circulated from 1945-1948, but "B Yen" was circulated until 1958 when the currency was replaced with the U.S. dollar.
These notes provide fascinating insight into the economic dealings of world powers in World War II, and being of rarer find, are a must have for any collection!
Thanks for stopping by!
