Did anyone else notice this?

My grandmother just found some of these in her house and I got to see them. I had no idea why the Japanese government would issue such currency until I googled it and ended up here. Anyway, while looking at it, I noticed that on the bottom of the 5 it said ソペ (sope). It obviously should say ペソ (peso) and I was wondering how the Japanese could mess up their own language. The same occurs on the other bills but in different places. 71.214.249.162 (talk) 02:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

It could have been possible that they switched the characters around during the printing process... (my non-expert opinion). — •KvЯt GviЯnЭlБ• ^Speak! 06:19, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Facts Must Be Substantiated. No Original Research, Please

Statements about the currency "being worthless" are potentially misleading. The extremely high prices of eggs could be due to wartime shortage, having little to do with one currency or another. Such statements must be substantiated or removed. TippTopp (talk) 18:11, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Extremely high prices cause inflation, which necessarily make the currency become worthless. So the extremely high prices are a cause (and also a symptom) of the worthlessness of the currency. Faunas (talk) 15:51, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

1944 Japanese government pesos value in USA now

I would like to know if it is real and how much it is worth in the United States and if I can exchange it for cash in America Jtwhite7669 (talk) 00:13, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

They have a pretty small value to collectors (they're pretty common, although there might be some rare variants I'm unaware of). Otherwise they're worthless.

I have a framed set of these Japanese notes, several currencies from several areas, most of the denominations. It's an interesting collectible, but it didn't cost me more than a few bucks to put together. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:20, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The Japanese government-issued Philippine peso was a form of fiat money issued in the Philippines by the Japanese government during World War II as part of its occupation of the archipelago. The first issue in 1942 had notes valued at 1, 5, 10 and 50 centavos, and 1, 5 and 10 pesos. A new series of peso denominations were issued in 1943, and hyperinflation resulted in a further issue in 1944, with the higher value notes of 100 and 500 pesos being added.

This picture shows the obverse (top) and reverse (bottom) sides of a 1000-peso note that was issued in 1945, shortly before the country was liberated by Allied troops. The banknote is in the National Numismatic Collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.Banknote credit: Empire of Japan; photographed by Andrew Shiva

The Japanese government-issued Philippine peso was a fiat currency issued in the Philippines during World War II, by the occupying Japanese government. One of several examples of Japanese invasion money, the currency was issued in several denominations and was known by some Filipinos by the derogatory term "Mickey Mouse money". The effect of wartime hyperinflation towards the end of the war can be seen in the rapid increase of denomination values that were put into circulation. These thirteen banknotes were issued in ten denominations from one centavo to one thousand pesos by the Japanese government and are now part of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution.

– Per MOS:SUFFIXDASH. They were issued by the Japanese government, not just by government. This is kinda controversial (e.g. Post-traumatic stress disorder, according to MOS:PREFIXDASH (which is the same as SUFFIXDASH but with prefixes), should be located at Post–traumatic stress disorder since the disorder comes after traumatic stress, not just a trauma) so I decided to start an RM. —hueman1 (talk • contributions) 12:11, 29 January 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 17:04, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

• Comment This is first time I've heard of this convention for using an en dash. Not necessarily opposed or supportive at this time, but can you elaborate on the origin of this usage and the positions of the major manuals of style on it? —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 21:12, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

  @HueMan1: could you comment on this? Elli (talk | contribs) 22:50, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

  @Arsonal and Elli: According to Merriam-Webster: If you want to be official about things, use the en dash to replace a hyphen in compound adjectives when at least one of the elements is a two-word compound.

  the post–Cold War era

  The thinking is that using a hyphen here, as in "the post-Cold War era," risks the suggestion that post attaches only to Cold. It's unlikely, though, that a reader would truly be confused.

  The Chicago Manual of Style: En dashes are also used to connect a prefix to a proper open compound: for example, pre–World War II. In that example, "pre" is connected to the open compound "World War II" and therefore has to do a little extra work (to bridge the space between the two words it modifies—space that cannot be besmirched by hyphens because "World War II" is a proper noun).

  and the Microsoft Style Guide: Use an en dash (–) instead of a hyphen in a compound modifier when:

  • One element of the modifier is an open compound.

    Examples

    Windows 10–compatible products

    dialog box–type options

  • Two or more of the elements are made up of hyphenated compounds (a rare occurrence).

• Comment I too have never heard of this. Wikipedia doesn't necessarily follow Chicago Style, or any other style. I would just be WP:BOLD and move them. However, I really have no strong opinions other way. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 21:38, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
