Talk:Japanese government–issued dollar in Malaya and Borneo

Link to this page from "Currency" page

I'm not sure a link to this page belongs in the main currency page. I'm also not sure why the reference should only be to Singapore, since notes bearing the banana design were issued throughout Malaya and the Netherlands Indies.

Um, feel free to expand the scope, I guess. Elle _{vécut heureuse} ^{à jamais} (Be eudaimonic!) 15:23, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

One and a half years on, and no work was done, pitiful. Anyway, there were also unathorised one-sided copies of the $10 bill used as Allied air-dropped leaflets warning of the impending uselessness of the currency once the Japanese were defeated, as well as banana notes converted into war souvenirs. Will look into a Malaysian currency book for reference, followed by a revision of the article. - Two hundred percent (talk) 07:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Japanese government-issued dollar in Singapore, Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Brunei → Japanese government-issued dollar in Malaya, Singapore, North Borneo, Sarawak and Brunei – Singapore is prioritised over Malaya in the title when the banknotes' "M" stamps indicate a centralisation of the currency distribution around Malaya. --Relisted. Andrewa (talk) 18:21, 30 September 2014 (UTC) - 118.100.232.210 (talk) 18:26, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

• Why is this not alphabetized? Support only Japanese government-issued dollar in Brunei, Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Singapore Red Slash 03:26, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
• Why not "Japanese government-issued dollar" (there weren't any others, although there may be confusion with 19th-century trade dollars) or "Japanese government-issued dollar in the Malay Peninsula and Borneo"? —innotata 18:21, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

• Relisting comment: I think that Innotata makes a very good point. Neither the current nor the proposed title seem optimum to me, I'd be surprised if there's not a more concise title. At the very least these alternative proposals need an answer. Andrewa (talk) 18:21, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
• Why not simply Japanese dollar? Dekimasuよ! 10:16, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
  • That's definitely ambiguous, because that would normally refer to Japanese trade dollars, and perhaps inappropriate because they weren't a currency within Japan itself (the other pages in Category:Japanese invasion money make this distinction). I think Japanese government-issued dollar in the Malay Peninsula and Borneo would be best. —innotata 21:32, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
    • Or Japanese government-issued dollar in the Malaya and Borneo? —  AjaxSmack  03:01, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
      • "Malaya" is a political term, and "Malay Peninsula" is purely geographic. I'm not sure how best to include the island of Singapore, but I'm inclined toward "Malay Peninsula". I'm assuming that's not what you intended, but "the Malaya" would be wrong. —innotata 03:05, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
        • Hmmm...I thought the opposite. "Malay Peninsula" (sometimes a substitute for West Malaysia) could seem to exclude Singapore whereas "Malaya" (i.e. British Malaya comprising Straits Settlements, Federated Malay States and Unfederated Malay States) wouldn't (Singapore wasn't separate until 1946). In addition, "Malay Peninsula" is a bit anachronistic vis-à-vis "Malaya" for the 1940s. However, I'm not that particular. Like you, I just don't like a long list of all territories concerned, especially if Labuan is excluded. —  AjaxSmack  03:23, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
          • Sure. (You didn't mean to include the "the" though, right?) —innotata 03:41, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
            • No I didn't. Thanks. —  AjaxSmack  05:36, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
              • Would Japanese government-issued dollar in Borneo and Malaya be acceptable, since this would also address the concern of Red Slash about alphabetization? Dekimasuよ! 23:04, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
                • I don't think alphabetisation matters when you've got just two names, and Malaya was more important then, &c. … but I don't think it matters. —innotata 01:40, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
                  • In that case, if there is any objection to "Malaya and Borneo," it can be brought up again later. Dekimasuよ! 02:47, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

This multiple POTD is a set of ten pictures, of which one is chosen at random.

The Japanese government-issued dollar was a form of currency issued between 1942 and 1945 for use within the territories of Singapore, Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Brunei, under occupation by Imperial Japan during World War II. The currency, informally referred to as "banana money", was released solely in the form of banknotes, as metals were considered essential to the war effort. The languages used on the notes were reduced to English and Japanese. Each note bears a different obverse and reverse design, but all have a similar layout, and were marked with stamped block letters that begin with "M" for "Malaya". This 1942 one-cent Japanese-issued banknote is part of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution.
