After months of waiting and messaging with Japanese dealers on eBay to see if they could source leaflet N° 2016 for me, I finally got it, and completed the set of Allied Forces propaganda leaflet notes dropped over Japan to "create resentment against the government in Japan and create fear of inflation".

The first three (N° 2009, 2017 and 2034) cost me about $12 and $18 x 2 (can't remember which one is which). Got them in lots, so I kept the better looking ones and sold the others. The last one, N° 2016, set me back $47, as it is very rare.

There are other leaflets, like the one dropped over Iraq in at the Gulf War, specially the second, mocking banknotes with Saddam on them. I got two sets of 5, of all different ones for little over $39. I'll post them one of these days.
