Pick M7a MA 000635 10 Dollars Japanese Invasion Money Malaya

A 10 Dollar banknote issued by the Japanese for its occupied territory of Malaya during WW2, a monetary paper that is more known as banana money due to the very obvious & conspicuous vignette of a banana tree on its Obverse.

This banknote bears the serial number of MA 000635 and as archived, this banknote was obviously printed in Tokyo wherelse those with mere Block Letters were printed in Batavia, as history would have told us.

The total amount of such banknotes being irresponsibly printed by the Japs is unknown but the quantity should be very colossal as these were hyperinflation notes with practically no purchase value.

But, ironically, they carry heavy numismatic value today as there is a huge collector base for such banana money amongst the numismatic fraternity all over the world, perhaps, when people becomes well-to-do, they do not know what to do with their excess funds, & thus, plough their excess cash in such collectibles.
