The leaflet is a photocopy of the Malayan ten dollar Japanese invasion money (JIM) note or more commonly known as ‘banana money’.The note has a diagonal stripe in the middle which reads, “Japanese money will die with Japan”. The message on the back of the leaflet reads, “Now in the country of Burma the Japanese currency is no longer valid; what is valid is the former British currency. When the British return to the country of the Malays, their currency, which has gone underground, will be valid as before. The currency of Japan will fall like Japan, but the currency of the British will last forever”. Written in Malay, Jawi and Mandarin, the leaflet was printed by the British psychological warfare division and was used between 1944 and 1945.
