I could not pass up an envelope full of Jap Occupation Currency. Worth next to nothing but interesting to research.

Several of them are One Pound notes marked AO. I first thought they were for Australiaicon but they were for Oceanic use by the japanese. Oceanic means- The Gilberts, Solomons,New Britian and Papus New Guinea..

From what I can find that the Peso equaled one Yen. However, the Japs prinited so muxh money that there was Hyperinflation and you had to have a suitcase full of money to buy a egg.

Most of my bills have serial numbers which makes them a tad more valuable. LOL

One Philippine peso note has Victory over stamped on the back. Appears to have been approved by the US President in 1922.....
