Today I have something a little different to share. I've been saving this one and I feel it will tie in nicely with the blog on the US Mint in Manila. As we all should know, the Philippines was overrun by Imperial Japanese Forces during WWll. When this occurred, in 1942, the Japanese issued their own currency there called Japanese Occupation Currency. This was to replace the older pre-occupation money.
Here is my newest acquisition. I picked it up at the second week of the Summer Seminar. It's a Real Beauty! Just don't get a magnet too close to it! This is a coin that could easily be picked up at a coin show or maybe eBay! It has a few other problems with it. Anybody see them?
