Description: WW2 Japanese Government Occupation Currency Note Money Please see pictures as these are the notes you will receive. Often referred to as 'Japanese Invasion Money' or 'JIM', this was a form of currency issued generally from 1942 by the Japanese military authorities as they occupied successive nations across South East Asia, and were intended to be used by the civilian populations to replace all local or other forms of currency. They were officially known as Southern Development Banknotes (at least by 1943). The Bank of Japan refers to the 'Japanese Government' headed notes as the 'Military' notes of the Pacific War. There is some indication that these notes may have been introduced in some areas as early as January 1941. There were different issues of JIM for seven regions: Burma, Malaya, Netherlands-Indies (Indonesia/Shonan), Oceania, and The Philippines, plus an un-issued series for eastern Russia. Japanese occupational issues in other areas are not usually considered part of the series as they were issued outside of the Southern Development Bank system: those of China, French-Indochina and Thailand. Also, the currency issued specifically for military use (mostly adapted Bank of Japan notes), and which mainly circulated within China, are not JIM notes. That said - an argument could be made for including the c1940 issues for China which have a seven character title omitting mention of the military (for example Krause China P M20) could be argued to belong within the series, sharing most of the features common to the JIM notes. dopc/1
