NEW BOOK: PHILIPPINE EMERGENCY NOTES

Dr. Ken Berger has released the next volume in his series about Philippine currency circulation during the Japanese occupation in World War II, Philippine Emergency Notes: Counterstamped, Signed & Initialed (CSI) – Iloilo and Leyte Provinces. This book is the product of years of scholarly research and was made partially possible through an Author's Grant from the Central States Numismatic Society. -Editor

Philippine Emergency Notes v3 book cover Unlike the first two editions of his earlier book, this book is completely in color and on glossy paper, thus eliminating the need for an accompanying CD. Besides covering the CSIs that are found on Iloilo and Leyte emergency notes, it also discusses the historical development of these notes. In addition, it presents a completely new, highly detailed, and well-documented hypothesis for the reasons why CSIs were needed on notes and why very few are from the island of Leyte. The book also provides a detailed chronology of the various redemptions of emergency currency, including copies of the required forms, Japanese counterstamps, and examples of redeemed notes. Although the book can be considered a continuation of his research and therefore the next volume in the series, it is written in such a way that it can be treated as a stand-alone text.

Ray Czahor of Cookie Jar Collectibles, a well-known dealer and collector of Philippine numismatics, has stated, In my opinion, all serious collectors of Philippine/emergency notes need this new 146-page book for their libraries!.

This book has a limited initial printing and costs $25.00 plus $5.00 for postage, for a total of $30.00 (within the continental U.S.). It is available from the author at csinotes@juno.com or P.O. Box 90314, San Diego, CA 92169. If so desired, a copy of Philippine Emergency Notes: Counterstamped, Signed & Initialed (CSI) – Cebu Province (Second Edition) can be included for an additional $25.00; or copies of both the first and second editions can be included for an additional $32.00.

Ray Czahor of Cookie Jar Collectibles at cookiejarpi@verizon.net or Box 428, Savage, MD 20763 also has copies of the current book available, along with some of the earlier books.
