    Hello, looking for info on what this Chinese money may be called and if it has any value. Also I would like to know the historical value of the collection. This was found in a thrift store. Thank you in advance.

    I don't know anything about the value of what you have here or the name of the money, but I wanted to drop by to say that is an awesome find!

    After seeing this, I was reading about the US Marines in Tsingtao, China in 1945:

    Some of the comments at the bottom of this article were very interesting.

    They are Japanese Puppet Bank notes from China.
    From when the Japanese occupied China.

    The 100 Yuan 1945 is worth around $1.50 and the 10 Yuan 1945 around $2

    The 100 Yuan has minor tears/rips around the edge and the 10 Yuan notes have folds and general signs of use so decrease the value.
