The listing, World War 2 Philippine Japanese Invasion Money has ended.

Here is one of my collections-- the money issued by Japanese to the Philippines when they invaded it.

I collect this type of currency to remember the bitter experiences that my fellowmen experienced during that war.

I can't forget what my grandma and my mom told me how cruel the Japanese treated the Filipinos. They killed the babies by throwing them on air and catch it using their bayoneta (a long gun with very sharp knife at the tip). You can see the picture here:

They also said that whenever Japanese soldiers see women and men walking on the street, and they have fun of them, they will ask if they are couple, if they say "yes", soldiers will tell them to have sex in front of them. And if they say "No", they will rape the woman.

My grandmother was young back then and they hid in the forest. And I am glad, she's still alive up to now! It's just, she's a tough woman and kinda ill tempered. lol

I have more than what I need, that's why I am giving this one away. This is the actual paper bill that you will receive. And yes, it has some folds and tears. But it will be worth it because this is kinda hard to find. This is already rare and it took me long to collect Japanese invasion money.

I have about 75 pieces of this type of currency. I got rid of a few a while back, but kept most of it. Few different countries, but all Jap issue...
I'll be watching

Wow, you have 75 of these??? Perhaps you want to share them here on Listia! I've been looking for this kind of item. I saw couple here before, but the bid went too high that I wasn't able to bid. Don't you want to sell yours?

I haven't seen too many in the coupla years I've had mine. I figure I'll collect til I find a serious buyer. I have a small collection of WWII memorabilia. I'm more of a 9/22 collector, now. I lost my cousin in the Towers. And it's my daughters birthday. So it's more of a family thing.
