JAPANESE INVASION MONEY

Malaya $1 Japanese Invasion Note
As the Japanese Empire spread out in the early days of World War II, the Japanese government issued special currency for the various nations and colonies they conquered. We are offering notes issued by the Imperial Japanese Government for the Philippines, Malaya (now Malaysia), Netherlands Indies (now Indonesia) and Burma (now Myanmar). The notes were issued in the currency and official language that was in use at the time of the invasion. Thus notes issued for the Philippines were denominated in Pesos and Centavos and were in English (as it was a United States commonwealth), the Malay notes were denominated in Dollars and Cents and were in English, (as it was a British Colony), Netherlands Indies notes were denominated in Guldens and Cents and were in Dutch, and the Burmese notes were denominated in Rupees and Cents and were in English (as it was a British Colony). The first letter in the block of letters on the front of the note indicates where the note was to be used: B = Burma, M = Malaya, P = Philippines, S = Sumatra (Netherlands Indies). The notes serve as a reminder for the failed exploits of the Japanese Imperial Armed Forces during World War II.

WORLD WAR II COINS OF FRENCH INDO-CHINA

French Indo-China 1 Cent 1941As World War II spread, French Indo-China (now Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos) became increasingly isolated and people started to hoard coins, creating severe coin shortages. Because copper was needed for the war effort, the Paris mint replaced the bronze 1 Cent with a zinc 1 cent in 1940. The new coin featured a Phrygian cap. After France fell to the Germans in June 1940, the French Indo-China government re-struck the zinc 1 Centime at an engineering college (Ecole Pratique) in Hanoi using the same design. The Hanoi restrikes are dated 1940 and 1941. Because they did not have proper minting or refining equipment,French Indo China 10 and 20 Centimes, 1941-S the coins tend to be weakly or crudely struck. The United States had not yet entered the war, so the San Francisco Mint was contracted to produce copper-nickel 10 and 20 Centimes. The coins bear the S mintmark and are dated 1941. The symbolic bust of France is on the front and a sheaf of grain is on the back. All of the coins bear the legend "Republique Francaise". Hanoi fell to the Japanese on December 7, 1941. Production of the zinc 1 Centime stopped as it bore the legend of the French Republic rather than the Axis supported Vichy government. The Japanese soon French Indo-China 1/4 Cent 1942 Vichy Governmentbegan to withdraw and melt the Annamese copper and brass cash coins, which had been in circulation as they needed the copper for their war effort. The cash coins were valued 1/5 to 1/6 of a cent and were widely used for small transactions. To replace them the Osaka mint in Japan began to strike a zinc 1/4 cent coin for French Indo-China in 1942. The coins bore the Vichy Government legend of "Etat Francais" rather than the French Republic legend. The Japanese war effort began to go badly and few shipments of the coins could be made. French Indo China aluminum 5 Centimes 1943Coin shortages got worse, so in 1943 the local government in Hanoi authorized the Ecole Pratique in Hanoi to strike aluminum 5 Centime French Indo-China aluminum 10 Centimes 1945coins. These coins also bear the Vichy "Etat Francais" legend.
Following the liberation of France and French Indo-China in 1945, a new series of coins was introduced, including a 10 Cent coin. These bore the same designs as the 1941 San Francisco issue, however they were struck in aluminum at the Paris mint. We are pleased to offer you these historic World War II coins of French Indo-China, including the scarce Osaka mint and emergency Hanoi mint issues at a small fraction of their catalog value.
