WWII Allied Military Currency Collection & Complete 1943-1944 WWII Axis Overrun Countries Collection & 3 Bonus Stamps

Product Description

WWII Allied Military Currency 5-Note Collection: During WWII, Allied powers issued special military currency (AMC) to liberated countries. As was the typical fashion, soldiers serving overseas were paid in their home currency, but in economies damaged by the war, a stronger currency such as the U.S. dollar increased the risk of inflation and black market activities. Most of these AMC notes were printed by the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing and were produced in Austrian schillings, French francs, German marks, Italian lire and Japanese sen and yen. Circulated condition.
