Photos to the left are WWII issued 1000 Pesos and a 10 Pesos Japanese  currency for use in the Philippine Islands.  The bank where these were found was in a town on the northern shore of Laguna da Bay.  As a result of the bank being shelled, the vault was blown open and Japanese invasion money was everywhere.  Courtesy of Robert Macomber, 43d Infantry Division
