AS SHOWN!
During World War II in the
Philippines, the occupying Japanese government issued fiat
currency in several denominations; this is known as the Japanese government-issued
Philippine fiat peso The puppet state under José P.
Laurel outlawed possession of guerrilla currency, and declared
a monopoly on the issuance of money, so that anyone found to
possess guerrilla notes could be arrested.
Some Filipinos called the fiat peso "Mickey Mouse" Money. Many survivors of the war
tell stories of going to the market laden with suitcases or
"bayong " (native bags made of woven coconut or buri
leaf strips) overflowing with the Japanese-issued bills.
According to one witness, 75 "Mickey Mouse" pesos, or about 35
U.S. dollars at that time, could buy one duck egg. In 1944, a
box of matches cost more than 100 Mickey Mouse pesos.
These bills were often used by
American psychological warfare personnel as propaganda
leaflets. Japanese occupation banknotes were overprinted with
the words "The Co-prosperity Sphere: What is it worth?", in an
attempt to discredit the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity
Sphere, and dropped from Allied aircraft over the occupied
territories
