Summary

[edit]
Description Lot 11612-20: Japan Floods Malaya With Fake Money. Following their usual practice in the areas they invade, Japanese soldiers are flooding Malaya with fake money which they offer in “return” for goods they plunder. The notes which are issued in denominations of fifty cents, and one, five and ten dollars are clumsy counterfeits which of course no shop or bank will take. They bear no official signature, picture of the King or tiger watermark, and in many cases are without even a serial number. This picture shows: The face of one of the fake “five-dollar” notes, without signature, picture of the King or tiger watermark is worthless. Photograph released circa 1942 Office of War Information Photograph. (2016/01/22).
