- World War II Axis & Allies Currency is the second video of a two part series. If you missed the first video World War II USA Currency see the link below for the video that covered what the US issued for wartime currency that directly impacted US residents and military personnel. This video answers the question of what did the major military powers issue for currency during World War II? Well, I’m certainly not an expert in this area and most likely have some incorrect and/or missing information. But I’ve researched to the best of my ability to provide a high level overview of examples - not a detailed accounting. Since this is my 50th video I’m celebrating showing 50 banknotes of World War II. I had a somewhat difficult time finalizing my World War II currency concept ideas and I got my inspiration from research for the 1990s currency Smack Down video. I discovered an interesting thread and I pulled it.

Is it called Paper Currency or Paper Money? Because it’s not paper at all. But I am a Paper Money Collector and like Paper Money Collecting as a Hobby. The Hobby is called Numismatics and if you collect you are a Numismatist. I also love History and work for a historical society and love collecting a Dollar or Dollars specifically the U.S. Dollar or is it the US Dollar? I have recently started collecting Obsolete Bank Notes or Obsolete Banknotes? Is Banknote one or two words. Today’s currency is made by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) and issued by the Federal Reserve Bank which issues Federal Reserve Notes that have a green seal and green serial numbers. At one point in time they issued large size banknotes called Federal Reserve Bank Notes. The Treasury Department used to issue Treasury Notes, Gold Certificates, Silver Certificates, and Legal Tender Notes, United States Notes and National Bank Notes. There were two sizes of U.S. currency. They were the Small Size Banknote, Small Size Bank note and the Large Size Banknote, Large Size Banknote. Before 1996 they were called Small Head Banknotes, Small Head Bank Note and after that they were called Monochrome Bank Note, Monochrome Banknotes.

I swear when the words "Hi I'm Dan" come out, my wallet runs down the hallway telling my wife a new video of yours has come out. This was an amazing bit of history that I had very little knowledge of. Thanks for putting in all the hard work for us to watch. Congrats on video "50". Now we gotta get you to 1k subscribers.
Thanks Gunny! At least in this video all of the notes are very affordable. It is a fun collection to put together that you can go deep or shallow! Appreciate the support!
When I saw the France notes, I instantly wondered what the back would look like with old school 3-D glasses. I also have a new appreciation for my $10 victory series note. Great info!
Never thought of that but totally 1950s 3D color! Thanks Stu!
Congratulations Dan on number 50! I very much enjoyed this two part series and I will have to try to put together a set of those “victory” pesos! Thanks again Dan for awesome content!
Thanks Dean! They are worth getting for the back colors alone then add in the history, story and BEP - just a lot happening for them. Thanks for the support my friend!
In the WWII book "American Guerrilla in the Philippines," there's a long description of how the American and Filipino guerrillas made their own currency, printing on any paper they could get with ink made from lamp black and diesel. I wondered if your research would get that detailed--and it did. (The book's author said they didn't worry about counterfeiting because they had all the paper available.)
Have to look that up to see the specific type/kind. Thanks for the additional information!
@@PolarCurrency I own a few of those notes. Very interesting piece of history. I seen notes made from old news paper.
Lots of cool stuff Dan. You outdid yourself on this one! Really interesting and informative. ❤❤❤❤❤ Happy 50th! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you my friend! A very interesting time for currency!
Big congrats on video #50! Way to go! What?! Japanese pesos? Also, I agree, that 2 pesos Philippines silver certificate is _beautiful!_ So many cool notes and history in this video, well done!
Thanks Joe appreciate the kind words and support!
Another great video! You may think you started a currency channel, my friend - but what you are running now is a financial history channel that features currency. Kudos to that!!
You know you are not wrong. Especially when I'm working on Treasury Notes...stay tuned for that! Thanks for the kind words and support.
Looking forward to the next 50! 🥂
Thank you sir and so am I!
Great video Dan. Interesting and important historical information
It really is important - I think we all kind of forget about that. Great point.
That really was quite a look at those notes. I have seen some of them, but never that many of them. Makes me want to go through my stamp collection and see what postage was issued around that time besides my set of Overrun Countries set which featured the Flags of 13 countries in full color, they were so advanced in design for the time that the BEP had to collaborate with the American Banknote Company to produce them.
A lot of notes! That would be interesting to see for those countries. Do a video! Thanks Timothy!
@@PolarCurrencyI will be for sure for the 13 stamps, but if I do have more WWII stamps, they will be included.
I'm also amazed how you find so many notes for your collection.
They’re out there on eBay! And affordable. Thanks Mark!
@@PolarCurrency even got my wife to look at this video - she likes WWII history
Hopefully she’ll still let you watch!
Love the graphic -- it's one of my many board games. Great video! I also have a couple of Japanese occupation notes from the Philippines.
Thanks Emanuel - those JMAs are just strange to me.
Great video, sir. I've always thought that WWII currency was such a strange occurrence, as the world was in such a precarious situation with counterfeiting, overrun countries, the possibility of many other countries being invaded and then liberated and occupied, and in each case having a need for a seperate currency. And the histories of each of them is remarkable. Some of the Philippine guerilla banknotes have stories of plates being smuggled in via submarine, then a trek over mountains through enemy lines and then printing on whatever paper could be had, and disseminating and being used in secret as having it could get you killed.
Thanks again for a great video!
Thanks for the add-on information! I saw that and just didn’t have the tine to go “deeper” (submarine pin?). But there may be another video on that?! Appreciate the support.
Do you think the USSR simply reused the old Imperial plates for the back?
Very good question. Will look that up Numista will have that to see if they recycled backs. Thanks for the idea!
Didn't realize how many WWII notes were put out. I started collecting some of the Philipino notes from WWII. Find it fascinating about Washington being on a couple of them.

Some time you mite do a video on CSA notes. I find them interesting also.
I’m debating for the future…going down the obsolete banknote rabbit hole first!
@@PolarCurrencyI've been in the US Obsolete rabbit hole for some time. I love all the cool note in that hole :)
The American banknote Co. Also produced notes for the Netherlands 👍
Thanks! Go Dutch! (Wife is 100%)
I love this subject, thanks for making this video. I have to say the 5 reichsmark note you showed was not circulating in Germany. That is a reichskreditkassen note, and that series was only for the occupied Territories. Numista is a great reference.
Thanks for the correction - I appreciate it greatly and glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi Dan! What an amazing video!! It took some time to make this video, for sure!! These Phillipean Victory banknotes are stunning! I will add those to my collection in the future! Best regards!!!
Thanks Roman! Appreciate the support and they really are great notes.
@@PolarCurrency Yes, they really are!!! With best regards!!!
Another great video. Congratulations on the fiftieth. Your quality and expertise keep getting better each time. I think your best one was about 3 wks ago, but then I'm prejudiced 😂😂😂.
Thanks and can’t disagree!
I always liked the Philippines money.
They are seriously beautiful. Makes me wonder why they make other countries currency better looking than ours.
Awesome work on this video Polar, great job man
Thank you sir - it was fun to dig into something I didn’t know a lot about.
Great content and Happy 50th!
Thank you sir and hard to believe 50!
@@PolarCurrency All of them are absolute quality!
Btw: An earthquake hit NYC while I was watching this video. Thanks Dan!
Well that doesn’t happen everyday!
Another amazing and educational marvel (video). You just exposed me to a new numismatic item to add to the collection.
If there's an award for numismatic collection/ education let me know because you will definitely have my vote. I thoroughly enjoy your content. Continue the great work...
Sincere thanks and support. I thought you might enjoy this and the previous videos.
@@PolarCurrency bases loaded. First swing. You knocked it out of the park...
Great video and congrats on the 50!
Thank you GenX for the support. I think we may part of the last generation to have a connection to that era!
@@PolarCurrency I agree. My grandfather and great uncles all served in both theaters.
Very Interesting, Thank You!
Thank you and appreciate the comment.
Good job!!!
Thanks!!
Very nice!
Thank you Benjamin!
I can only think of the one video I have done. The Hawaii note. I enjoyed seeing a lot of the notes I also own.
