5 Yuan Chinese Banknote- 1935 WWII Era Bank of Communications

5 Yuan banknote has a beautiful Chinese sailing junk on one side and a depiction of the summer palace on the other. A note about these Chinese Banknotes: my father served in the US forces stationed in Shanghai as a payroll sargeant. As kids we loved to hear Daddy's war stories, and I remember him explaining to us how China printed a bunch of money that they couldn't back up, and it was eventually devalued. When the cururency on hand became worthless, the US government sent in American money in order for the soldiers to be paid. When asked what he should do with the worthless Chinese currency, his superior officer told him "I don't care if you decorate your Christmas tree with it!" That's exactly what they did, and that's why many of them have tape marks on the sides! I found them taped together among his memorabilia, and separated them by cutting the tape so as not to damage the bill. No extra charge for the story!
