What's the backstory on the WWII image? It's a great commentary on the value of paper money.

Japanese invasion currency is pretty fascinating stuff and incredibly affordable. That image is from Wikipedia's extensive write-up:

You'll find info about counterstamped, propaganda, counterfeit and other sub-fields. Each of the regions Japan occupied has its own write-up, too. See "main article" link under each territory.
