Hey Aidan
Great Idea for a group!

Thanks!

This is one area of numismatics that has been underresearched.

Very few internment camp & P.O.W. camp notes are listed in a major catalogue.

Numisman,
The only internment camp notes that I do have in my collection are the 1/- & one of the 2/- notes from the Green Point Track Camp.

Despite their crudeness,they are actually printed on watermarked paper.

They turned up over here in New Zealand a few years ago.I bought them for NZ$20 each!

here is a dumb Q, would the coins issued by the US for Philippines (during wwii) come under this category? kinda like those ol eagle and shield coins :) i am guessing even those were for military use? right?

Comment by Aidan Work on August 11, 2009 at 8:39am

MumbaPuri,
The Philippines were an American commonwealth between 1935 & 1946.The coins were issued for use as currency by the general population.

As to the notes,there were hundreds of emergency notes issued for the various provinces of the Philippines during World War II,plus the Japanese Occupation notes.

great , every group of your is unique and special by itself

Comment by Aidan Work on August 11, 2009 at 5:12pm

Welcome aboard,Vishwanath!

India also issued P.O.W. banknotes as well,in both World War II & the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971,but they aren't even listed in any of the major catalogues,such as the 'Standard Catalog of World Paper Money' by Krause Publications (a.k.a. Pick catalogues).Perhaps,there is an Indian specialised catalogue that lists them.

Aidan.
