1939-1945: World at War

Banknotes and coins reveal little known aspects of World War II. Germany and the Allies issued emergency currencies for the parts of Europe under their control. Japan did the same in the Pacific. Prisoner of War camps had their own money, and forgeries of Bank of England notes were made in German concentration camps. See this currency for yourself and learn about rampant inflation as the nations at war struggled to pay for the conflict.
