  • Recognition of Variety for $100 Malaya Japanese Invasion Money Pick Number M8a: Capital Block Letter M and Number of Ropes
    Asian Culture and History; Vol. 11, No. 2; 2019 ISSN 1916-9655 E-ISSN 1916-9663 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Recognition of Variety for $100 Malaya Japanese Invasion Money Pick Number M8a: Capital Block Letter M and Number of Ropes Dazmin Daud1 1 UCSI University, Malaysia Correspondence: Dazmin Daud, UCSI University, Malaysia. E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 17, 2019 Accepted: May 8, 2019 Online Published: July 10, 2019 doi:10.5539/ach.v11n2p66 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ach.v11n2p66 Abstract In this paper varieties which have not been described in numismatic reference book of the World War II Remembered-History in Your Hands-A Numismatic Study and numismatic major catalogues of Pick and KN Boon are introduced. It is shown that the $100 Malaya Japanese Invasion Money, Pick number “M8a” (Pick # M8a) has other types of varieties by scoping their capital block letter “M” and “number of ropes” respectively. The recognition of variety on paper money is an important problem for private collectors and numismatic researchers responsible for the classification of numismatic collections. The paper presents a research approach for recognizing unlisted varieties in paper money of M8a. Using convenience sampling, 81 pieces of the $100 M8a were analysed for the dimension, faceplate, backplate and block letter. This paper provides an insight for Japanese Invasion Money collectors to be aware of regarding the new varieties found from the paper money. Keywords: Japanese Invasion Money, Malaya, World War II 1. Introduction Japanese forces attacked Malaya in late December 1941. By February 15, 1942, they occupied the entire Malaya and Singapore.

  • The Use of Bank Notes As an Instrument of Propaganda
    THE USE OF BANK NOTES AS AN INSTRUMENT OF PROPAGANDA PART II John E. Sandrock Allied Anti-Japanese Propaganda Dropped in the Far East Toward the end of World War II, in an effort to hasten the downfall of the Empire, the Allies commenced dropping airborne propaganda notes over Japanese occupied territory in widely separated geographic locations. The first of these was an airdrop over Singapore and the Malayan States during 1944 and 1945. The British selected the Japanese Government 10 dollar Malayan occupation note for their propaganda message. Printed on Psychological Warfare presses in Calcutta, India these notes, when ready, were delivered to various Royal Air Force bases in India and Burma. From there they were delivered over the target area by the 231st Wing of the RAF. Genuine Japanese 10 dollar occupation note for Malaysia The purpose of the propaganda message was to undermine Malaysian confidence in the Japanese and their money. The obverse of the genuine Japanese occupation 10 dollar note was altered by adding a diagonal stripe to the photogravure facsimile which read in Malaysian Wang Jepun Akan Mati Bersama Jepun (Japan and its Japanese Money will soon disappear). The reverse of the facsimile contains three columns of text, in Malay, Arabic and Chinese. The translated text reads: “Japanese notes are no longer being used in Burma. The only legal money now being used is British. When the British return to the Malay States, their currency will become valid again as before. Japanese notes will forever disappear together with the Japanese, but genuine British notes will be used forever”.

  • THE PHILIPPINE GUERRILLA NOTES of MINDANAO ISLAND John E
    THE PHILIPPINE GUERRILLA NOTES OF MINDANAO ISLAND John E. Sandrock Japan Invades the Philippines The Japanese Empire launched its surprise air attack upon Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on 7 December, 1941, thus precipitating the American entry into World War II. Ten hours later, Japanese forces sent aircraft to bombard landing sites in the Philippine Islands in preparation for landings by ground troops throughout the islands. Since the initial Japanese objective was to capture the Philippine capital of Manila, these landings initially took place on the island of Luzon in the north. Defending American and Philippine troops were under the command of General Douglas McArthur, commander of United States Armed Forces in the Asia-Pacific Region. After losing his Air Force in the initial bombardments, McArthur ordered all naval forces to leave the islands so that they might survive to fight another day. Without air or naval support, nor any means with which to resupply his ground forces, McArthur's army and the Philippine Scouts, under the pressure of superior numbers, were forced to withdraw to the Bataan Peninsula and to Corregidor Island at the entrance to Manila Bay. Here they kept up a valiant defense until Bataan fell in April 1942, whereupon the remaining troops transferred to the island fortress of Corregidor where they continued the fight until May. After exhausting their ammunition they were compelled to surrender. In the meantime the Japanese occupied Manila. To avoid its destruction, it had been declared an “open city” by President Manuel Quezon, president of the Philippine Commonwealth. After the fall of Bataan 80,000 American and Philippine prisoners were forced by the Japanese to undertake the infamous “Death March” to prison camps situated 105 kilometers to the north.
