Allied military currency for Japan included undated 10 and 50 sen pieces as well as 1, 5, 10, 20, 100 and 1000 Yen notes. Collector value depends condition of a note, including amount of wear, any folds, tears or stains. They would also have a letter A or B in the underprint that would affect value as well as the letters in the 1 Yen's serial number. With more info I'd be glad to give you a range of possible values.
These notes were initially printed in the U.S. then later in Japan. They also circulated shortly in Korea and for a longer time in Okinawa.

They're fairly popular among collectors, but really only have noteworthy value in Unc. or AU.
