WP:MILHIST Assessment

[edit]

A very interesting subject; I had not known about this at all before. I look forward to expansion on the subject; also, a little clean-up is necessary. "HK" should not be used in this context, and neither should "HK people's". Try to avoid abbreviations, and seek more proper phrasing; perhaps something like "The Japanese Military Yen owned by the people of Hong Kong..." LordAmeth 18:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First issuance of Japanese Military Notes

[edit]

The wiki article says "The Imperial Japanese government first started issuing the military yen during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904." However, an article [[1]] written by Bank of Japan in Japanese language says "It was 1894 during Sino-Japanese war that the first military notes were issued by Japan in five denominations." Which statement is correct?218.216.99.67 11:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. Military notes were certainly issued during the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-05. Before that, there are two groups of notes that are relevant to this discussion: the Saigo notes of 1877 and notes of the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-95. The Saigo notes are apparently not considered "real" military yen for reasons that escape me. I'm not sure if the notes of the Sino-Japanese war were ever issued, although an issue was prepared. Someone should look into this. I might do so myself, but I would need to go to a library first. Alfons Åberg (talk) 11:56, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

cite tags

[edit]

I find some cite tags recently added by (i think) 218.216.99.67 unnecessary. They are backed in the Hong Kong Reparation Association page and also some on the Global Financial Data page i added. ian-Kiu 05:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Scope of the article

[edit]

There has consistently been a problem with the scope of this article. Originally, the article focused on the use of the Japanese military yen in Hong Kong specifically (probably because it was written by a contributor from Hong Kong). Later on, a section called "Papua New Guinea and Philippines" was added. This, however, broadens the scope too much, because the occupation money circulated in these areas were not military yen, they were other military backed currencies, covered in the article Japanese invasion money. I will try to clarify these things explicitly in the article and remove the bits about Japanese invasion money. It would be great if someone could add material about the use of the Japanese military yen outside Hong Kong. Alfons Åberg (talk) 12:54, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the article as originally composed by User:Bourquie, in case anyone is interested. Alfons Åberg (talk) 17:22, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Major re-origination time

[edit]

This article is going to be about Japanese yen used by the military from 1904 to 1945. In other words this is covers the Empire of Japan period. The events that are included are as follows:

Currency was in fact issued for military use during the Russo-Japanese War, and was issued in 1904. [2]

World War I issues include:

  • "1914 Occupation of Tsingtao"
  • "1918 Occupation Of Siberia".

World War II issues are confined to Japanese troops in China as far as I can tell. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:43, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
