My parents have recently been clearing out an old house that they've bought, and have found several Japanese Dollars - We can't find anything out about them on the internet, and they are definately old - Does anybody know anything about Japanese dollars ever being in circulation for some reason please? And if so, when? We're really intrigued about them as we've never heard of them before - thanks in advance for any answers x

During World War II, Japan occupied many countries in Asia, including Burma (Myanmar), Philippines, Malaya (West Malaysia), Oceania, and the Netherland Indies (now Indonesia). There, the Japanese Government printed their own currency, now called "Japanese Invasion Money" or JIM.

In Oceania the Japanese printed notes with "British style" denominations (Pounds and Shillings); the Philippines had "Spanish style" JIM (Pesos and Centavos); and Malaya had JIM denominations of Dollars and Cents.
