- 'Japanese Military Yen', commonly abbreviated as 'JMY', was the currency issued to the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army and the Imperial Japanese Navy as a salary. The Imperial Japanese government first started issuing the military yen during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904. The military yen reached its peak during the Pacific War period, when the Japanese government excessively issued to all of its occupied territories. During the war, not only was the military yen used in the military, it was also forced upon the local population as the official currency of the occupied territory. Since the military yen was not backed by gold, and did not have a specific place of issuance, the military yen could not be exchanged for Japanese yen. Forcing local populations to use the military yen officially was one of the ways the Japanese government could dominate the local economies.
- 軍用手票(ぐんようしゅひょう)とは、戦争時において占領地もしくは勢力下にて軍隊が現地からの物資調達及びその他の支払いのために発行される擬似紙幣である。政府紙幣の一種と解されることもある。略して「軍票(ぐんぴょう)」とも呼ばれていることが一般的である。正確には領収書であり、最終的には、その軍隊が所属する政府によって軍票所持者に対し債務支払いを行う必要があるが、敗戦国の場合、支払能力がないため反故にされる場合もある。また第二次世界大戦の敗戦国である日本の場合、かつて戦時国際法上、個人に対する戦争被害を敗戦国が補償する義務がなく、また連合国側が軍票の支払い義務を免除したため、後に国際問題になったことがある。
- 日本軍用手票,簡稱軍票。是日本政府作為發放日軍餉的貨幣。軍票早於二十世紀初的日俄戰爭中已經使用,其後日本每次對外用兵時皆使用軍票。但軍票的全盛時期是在太平洋戰爭的時期,當時日本瘋狂發行軍票,更逼令佔領地居民兌換軍票作為貨幣。由於軍票發行時没有保證金作為兌換支持,也沒有特定的發行所,所以軍票不能兌換日圓。基於這個緣故,日本政府以此作為支配佔領地經濟的一種手段。 以香港為例,當1941年聖誕日香港淪陷後,日軍即以軍票作為貨幣,規定港幣和軍票的兌換率為1兌2。其後於1942年7月,日軍又將軍票面值貶至1兌4。日軍更於1943年6月起硬性規定軍票為香港唯一合法的交易媒介,港幣和其他貨幣一概禁止流通,市民私藏港幣屬違法行為。 日軍對香港經濟的影响程度十分嚴重,到1945年8月日本投降為止香港共有19多億圓的軍票在香港流通。 1945年8月15日,日軍宣佈投降,全部軍票頓變廢紙,同時港幣恢復成為香港法定貨幣。
