Has anyone here ever heard of this paper money?It's the paper money use by the Japanese during World War II to the countries they control at that time.Anyone know any paper money dealer for this type of paper money?

Ebay is a really nice source, there are some really nice coins and things on there, from as far back from the roman Empire, another nice element is the luck involved, you never know quite what you're getting

Pfft, possibly for inexperienced buyers, and buyers who want cheap goods, however i for one wouldn't be impressed if my purchased turned out to be rubbish after the amount i paid for it ...

perfect things are never fun, take gambling, if you knew just how likly everything was exactly, where would be the fun?

Can i ask a question of the thread creator? Why didn't the japanese just use the Yen for the currencies?

[mankix]

This links back to the yen post, had they have done this, the value gained would be less than the increase in yen, and the currency would plummet.

[thrawn]

that would make sense, it would also,mean that after the war the other countries economoies would be ruined by worthless money, and would be at mery of japan.

[mankix]

yes indeed, plus the beuocracy would be easier, as they could manipulate the value, by burning and printing with no reprocussions upon themselfs...

Yes ebay is a really nice source, even i have grabbed many coins from ebays auction only.
