WWII Era Chinese Banknote 10 Yuan. Central Bank of China.

This beautiful note depicts a bugler playing his call at the Great Wall! In addition to its odd, short format, it's also printed in blue ink, which makes it really stand out. It's still crisp, with no tears and a few stains and creases. Matches SKN37, which is in better condition. A note about these Chinese Banknotes: my father served in the US forces stationed in Shanghai as a payroll sergeant. 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!
