After the Japanese seized the Philippines during WWII, they issued their own currency for use on the islands. But Filipino resistance fighters produced “Guerrilla Notes” to symbolize their cause. This crude emergency money was often printed using wooden blocks, vegetable dye and scrap paper because little else was available. The money was eagerly accepted because it symbolized the resistance, but anyone caught by the Japanese with Guerrilla Notes faced torture or death.
In 1942, General MacArthur pledged he would return to the Philippines and he made good in 1944, thanks to the resistance fighters’ efforts. Make the notes of the daring Filipino resistance fighters part of your collection today.
