Welcome!!
Here is a lot of 3 Japanese Allied Military Currency from World War II..
A bit of info about these:
most cash drawn by soldiers would go directly into the local economy,in a damaged economy the effects of a hard currency such as the dollar circulating freely alongside weaker local currencies could be severely problematic. once dollars were circulating in a combat region, the opposing side could freely use its own stocks of dollars as currency, or acquire stocks for use elsewhere.
whilst the use of local currencies was effective where they were provided in cooperation with the local authorities, it was impractical in combat zones where the government might be either hostile, deliberately ambivalent, or simply non-existent. In these cases, the military authorities issued special "military currency", which was paid out to soldiers at a fixed rate of exchanged and simply declared legal tender in occupied areas by local commanders.
The designation "B type yen" derives from the fact that, for a time after the US occupation of Okinawa Prefecture began, following the end of World War II, the US military used a separate scrip called "A type yen" while "B type yen" were only used by the local civilians.[2] In the brief time between the 1945 battle of Okinawa and the beginning of the US occupation, the islands went from a currency-free system, relying upon barter and distributions of supplies from the authorities, to the reintroduction of currency with the B yen, the introduction of the new Japanese yen (both "new yen" and "B yen" being used concurrently for a time) and then the establishment of the B yen as the only legal currency
.
Currency is in fair condition for it's age.
