By 1942, Japanese Imperial forces had overrun the Philippines and forced its government into hiding. While planning his counterattack, General Douglas MacArthur authorized the issuance of Military Script. Featuring MacArthur on the red 5 Pesos and President Roosevelt on the green 20 Pesos, these pieces are genuine artifacts of World War II! Each is over 65 years old and you can add BOTH notes to your collection for under $30!
