Japanese currency was redesigned periodically since 1871. During Emperor Shōwa time paper money became colorful and monetary quantifications were revised. The official name of Japan's currency is the "yen". Small notes were issued as part of yen. Here I show an example, a 50 Sen note issued in 1942 and mostly circulating until 1948.

My older brother, who served in the US Navy for over eighteen years, once told me, that seeing the entire Navy Band perform and parade on every boot camp graduation was impressive, he recalled that the flag for the state of New Hampshire's motto is "Live free or die."

New Hampshire entered the Union on June 21, 1788 as the 9th state.

"Czechoslovakia" was the official name of the Czech Republic until its parlamentary dissolution in Winter of 1997 thus becoming two different states Slovakian Republic and Czech Republic. One of the three coins presented here was minted and circulated under Soviet control from 1982 until 1990, the 20 "halierov" or hellers. I also included a 1997 One "Koruna" (crown) coin and a 1995 five Korun coin. Beautiful as they are, they evoke a Nation's struggle to ocercome many established governments and forge its own socio-cultural presence since the entire region belongued to the Austro-Hungarian Empire three centuries ago.Czech currency
As we travel coinwise thru various countries, features of design and historical relevance come to a distinctive point when choosing coins or paper money to keep for collections.Some of the items I present have indeed much of a historical approach, specifically when it comes to characters who dealt with the liberation of entire countries from exploiting elements. Such is the case of Venezuela's "Libertador" Simón Bolívar who appears in the art of the most modern currency of this South American republic.TheBolivar was adopted by the monetary law of 1879, replacing the short-lived venezolano at a rate of 5 Bolivares = 1 Venezolano. ... Venezuela went off the gold standard in 1930, and in the 1934 the Bolívar exchange rate was fixed in terms of the US Dollar at a rate of 3.914 Bolivares = 1 $USD.
