Allied Military Currency for Japan was produced in the United States under strict wartime-carry-over secrecy, with Series 100 notes — identifiable by the "A" block letter prefix — introduced specifically for the post-surrender occupation. The yen-denominated MPC was legal tender throughout occupied Japan, designed to insulate the Japanese monetary system from dollar-based black market arbitrage that had badly undermined earlier occupation currencies in other theaters.
The "A-note" designation comes from collector convention, not official Allied nomenclature. Series 100 was withdrawn and replaced relatively quickly as occupation financial controls tightened through 1946–1947.
