The Manchukuo yuan was the money used in the Empire of
Manchukuo, from June 1932 until August 1945. The Manchukuo yuan
would buy 24 grams of silver in 1932. The price of silver
changed and the yuan would not buy 24 grams of silver. To show
that the yuan had value it was made equal to Japanese money. The
Japanese money was called the yen. In 1940 the Manchukuo yuan
was being used to measure Manchukuo exports and imports to
America, Germany and Japan. The paper money was in five values
in 1932. Each piece of paper money is called a note. There was a
one hundred yuan note, a ten yuan note, a five yuan note, a one
yuan note and a small value note. A new 1000 yuan note was made
in 1944. The paper money or notes had pictures of Chinese
emperors printed on them. The money was first made in Japan.
Later they were made by the Bank in the Manchukuo capital of
Hsinking (Hsinking is now called Changchun). The Yuan was
subdivided into 10 chiao, 100 fen or 1000 li. Coins were made
that were worth 5 li and bigger values. Th
