The Japanese began their attack on
British Malaya
the same day as
Pearl Harbor
. The Japanese entered Malaya overland from the north and the fortified base of
Singapore
fell on 15 February 1942 and was held with the rest of Malaya by the Japanese until August 1945. Malaysian scrip is in dollars (Straits or Malayan dollars) and therefore is often, mistakenly, thought to be for the invasion of the United States. In 1942 the Japanese issued paper scrip currency of 1, 5, 10 and 50 cents and 1, 5 and 10 dollars. The 1, 5 and 10 dollar notes initially had serial numbers; these were later omitted. In 1944, inflation lead to the issuing of a 100 dollar note. In 1945, a replacement note 100 dollar bill was issued as well as a hyper-inflation 1,000 note. The 1942 series of notes, including the 50c and 1, 5, 10, and the 1944/45 100 dollar all contained the text [The Japanese Government] ?Promise To Pay The Bearer On Demand?. The 1944 100 dollar replacement note no longer contained this message.
The Japanese characters in the oblong box at the bottom of each note read ?Government of Great Imperial Japan? and the contents of the seal at the lower right of the note comprise the Japanese symbol for the Minister of Finance.
