Description: 1945-1958 Issued Pursuant to Military Proclamation WWII ALLIED Military Currency FIFTY SEN - Series 100 - Japanese. Allied military currency, 50 sen, issued in postwar occupied Japan. The B series was issued in Japan from September 1945-July 1948 and in Okinawa until 1958. Military currency or occupation money was produced for use by military personnel in occupied territories. Notes for the different currencies: lire, francs, kroner, marks, schillings, and yen, had similar designs for ease of production. "B type yen" were used by the local civilians in the Okinawa Prefecture. Between the 1945 battle of Okinawa and the beginning of the US occupation the islands went from a currency-free system to the reintroduction of currency with the B yen. The US established B yen as the only legal currency for use by the local Japanese in the Okinawa Prefecture. The whole rest of Occupied Japan was using the new Japanese yen "new yen". In 1948 B type yen came to be used by both Japanese military and civilians. Military scrip was introduced in Okinawa because the US military government intended to continue occupation of Okinawa long after ending it in the Home Islands. In 1958, the US dollar replaced the B yen in the Okinawa Prefecture.
