Pearl Harbor and Japanese Invasion Coin & Currency Collection
$30.95
includes a $1 Japanese Invasion Note that the Japanese planned to use in the U.S. in place of U.S. currency following a successful invasion – but fortunately it was never needed!
1943, the Penny was made in steel instead of copper. This one-year-only coin is the only U.S. steel coin.
In 1944, Pennies were made with recycled copper from shell cases recovered from battlefields and ships.
The 1941 Jefferson Nickel was issued more than 70 years ago in the year of the Pearl Harbor attack. Starting in 1942, the Nickel was struck in 35% silver to save nickel for the war effort. These are the only silver Nickels in history, and the short-lived silver coins are identified by a large mint mark on the reverse.
Please Note: these coins & notes are over 75 Years old and the condition of the Coins are VG (very good) or better, & the condition of the notes are VF (very fine) or better
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, was the event that forced the U.S. to join World War II. U.S. currency changed in response to the military demands for metals such as copper and nickel. The 1941 Jefferson Nickel was issued more than 70 years ago in the year of the Pearl Harbor attack. Starting in 1942, the Nickel was struck in 35% silver to save nickel for the war effort.

The item was in excellent condition visually, and included all of the coins and currency included as advertised, but physically, there was a problem. The leatherette plastic folder gives off a very, very strongly unpleasant smell! It is a smell almost like a decaying beast of some kind, but actually, it really is only the plastic itself. I am hopeful that the odor will wear off, but it is quite noxious indeed. I would hold off buying this until the dealer can fix the problem. Other than that, it is worth owning. Check with the dealer about the smell.Read more

Wow” How neat is this. As with the similar German money collection item, it came wrapped in a clear paper protective paper and on time. The colors are bright. This is an unique gift for a teenage boy who is into all military and World War items. He is going to love it. Thank you for helping make me the best nana.Read more

The coins were all in good shape as advertised. The Japanese Invasion Money (JIM) has no real intrinsic value but it’s in great shape and as a historical curiousity it’s terrific. A real conversation starterRead more

At first glance I thought it was a little cheesy, but on review it is really kind of cool. I not only learned something about that period that I did not know, but I also don’t have anything like it in my collection so its pretty cool and worth the price to me. It is a definite conversation starter.Read more

This is such a fun cool collectible, a little piece of history behind a major historical event. Great for a gift as well, I bought this one for myself. I love it, but not so much the cheap plastic sleeve its in, but definitely something you can put in another holder for display.Read more

We got this as a gift for our grandson who collects coins and currency. The currency was in great condition and the case not only displayed it, but gave interesting historical information about its use. Great buy!Read more

I normally steer clear of things like this, making my own sets, but of course I don’t have these pretty displays for them. This one has as good or even better coins than I would have used.Read more
