Japanese Goverment Philippine paper money 1942-43

[BillS]

Does anyone have any interest in this paper money. My uncle passed & found this tucked away in a metal box in basement. the envelope is interesting as its from his ship the USS Gleaves, a destroyer, in San Francisco to his home. post marked Nov 11 1945 !

Thanks!!

Guys-
This is not the marketplace. If these items are for sale, place them in the For Sale section, not in a thread.

[BillS]

will do Bob if they are for sale. ! sorry, just seeing if there is any interest in these as they are common.

Very nice. I have been trawling around for japanese relics and militaria. But its far and between anything down here

I found a roll of this stuff inside the liner of my first Japanese helmet. The owner had secreted it there and it remained in place until I bought the helmet in the early 1960's.

TrondK, its been 70 years ! whats left has been buried deep or washed out to sea I would think.

Yes Bill, i believe the same thing.
I have seen a couple of rusty willis? wrecks around, but thats all. I have put the word out i am interested in militaria. But as we know the japanese soldiers were treating locals sometimes very bad, so the locals got rid of everything as quickly as possible in 45.
I have been inspecting acouple of the few old houses that had japanese officers in them. But absolutely nothing is to be found yet. Not even when i use the magical word: Money

They want me on a detector inspection during the summer to a japanese site with "bured" loot. I dont believe there will be anything, but lets wait and see. Im going to take photos of the expedition and share here anyway.
