- Summary:
- Description: Overprinted Filipino 5 Peso co-prosperity sphere currency. According to "WWII allied propaganda banknotes" website by Sgm Herbert A. Friedman (ret.), https://www.psywarrior.com/WWIIAlliedBanknotes.html, "vast sums of occupation currency were issued for use in the Philippines. As the war neared an end, huge stocks of these notes were found by advancing American liberation forces. A propaganda campaign to attack the Japanese political concept was launched by overprinting the captured occupation notes on the back with: "The Co-Prosperity Sphere: What Is It Worth?" These overprinted notes were air dropped over areas still occupied by the Japanese to ridicule their concept of a "Greater East Asia" by showing that Japanese-issued currency was worthless.".
