JIM F. Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 From my archives. I bought this in the 1970's and just let it see the light of day since Nixon was in office. Not sure exactly what it is, since there is not a serial number other than MT. Anyone have info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member CHAWK Posted January 24, 2011 Member Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 This is a 100 Dollar Japanese WWII Occupation note from Malaya (Pick# M8). The "MT" designates the country, which in this case is Malaya. Thanks for the post...your note looks to still be in pretty good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Yup! I have a whole set of these in an envelope from the Tatham Stamp & Coin Co. of Springfield Mass, marketed as "Japanese notes for the invasion of the United States (?); 1c-$1,000.00" These were marketed as being for the invasion of the US, but they were simply for Malaya which used the same base currency notation that we do. The original price was $3 and I don't think I paid too much more than that a few years ago when I bought it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
