I found these in an old file.I think a service man brought them back from world war2. Are they worth any thing?

    The paper money forum is here, but the short answer to your question is, "no". These notes are extremely common.

    Philippine occupation currency is the most common Japanese invasion money, and relatively plentiful. Your 1942 notes, designated 13-83 (10 centavo) and 13-84 (5 centavo) in the Japanese Numismatic Dealers Assn.'s catalog are listed at ¥100-¥150 (~94¢-$1.40) in the current edition, and would probably retail for slightly more in the U.S. They show up with some regularity on Ebay.
