Hello.[edit]

Scanned notes inherited from Grandfather, who had Burmese wife and worked for the UN travelling extensively during the war. What I don't know is:

  • exact year. The existance of a 100 RS note suggests all are >=1943
  • Temple. It's in the vicinity of Thatbinnyu Temple but the actual buildings are not the Thatbinnyu. Mike163 (talk) 20:23, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese government-issued rupee in Burma

The Japanese government-issued rupee in Burma was Japanese invasion money issued as a replacement for the local currency during the Japanese occupation of Burma in the Second World War. Like most Japanese colonial currency from this period, a letter code was used on the notes; the first or top letter "B" indicates that the note was printed in and issued for the State of Burma; the second letter or letters indicate the block (or printing batch) of the note. The higher-value notes depict Ananda Temple in Bagan on the obverse. This one-cent banknote is part of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution.
