I'm not sure if this is the place to be asking about these, but I'm very interested in this collection from my great grandpa. He was killed in WWII but somehow my grandmother aquired these notes. I was wondering, first, what they are and an approximate value and how much the value may or may not go up over time, and second, since he never made it back home, how did we get these? Would they have been sent home in the mail, if that was legal or if that was perfectly normal.
Would also like to say to anyone serving in our military thank you for your service and God bless!

The top four are Japanese paper yens. The bottom three are Japanese occupation of the P.I. !!!
The top left note and the one directly underneath it are Chinese. The top right and the one directly underneath it are regular post WWII Jappanese issues. The other three are so-called Japanese invasion currency from the war for use in the Philippines
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
The first two bills on the left were from Republic of China/Taiwan 1936 and 1960. So how is it possible that it was left over from WWII?
My bad, the top two on the left are Chinese !!!
The top two on the right are post WWII Japanese. Sorry for my mistake !!!
lol I made the same mistake. It should be my military left so I secretly edited my earlier post after reading yours.
And for the record, only the top bill on the right was issued after WWII since it is was from " Japanese Bank" and not Japanese empire/goverment like the rest of them.
I have such banknotes too left over by my grandmother.
I am curious about them as well. The first two look like Chinese banknotes.

The currency forum is probably the most appropriate place to ask your questions guys.
