备注

Japan's military occupation currency for Malaya — issued beginning in 1942 and quickly nicknamed "banana money" by the local population, a reference to the banana tree motif printed on the higher denomination notes in the same series. The name stuck for all the Japanese invasion notes regardless of denomination. Backed by nothing more than the authority of an occupying force, the currency was inflated catastrophically as the war turned against Japan, with the military simply printing more to cover supply and administrative costs.

After the Japanese surrender in 1945, the notes were declared worthless overnight, wiping out the savings of much of the Malayan civilian population. No redemption scheme was offered.
