[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 11210646, member: 2844"]Very nice find, good condition, well cared for. Afaik, the US forces weren't in Borneo post-war, the Australians were the ones to hold the fort. In most of the rest of Indonesia it was the British. Those coins are still to be found in Indonesia, and are often used as a decoration/symbol, for good luck, in some parts even as currency. At least they date the baby carrier as post-war, probably later still.[/QUOTE]
