Had military travel papers from 1944. He was stationed in the Aleutian Islands. He also had a 1937 Canadian $2 bill, 1937 Canadian $1 bill, a Mexican 1 peso bill that I can’t find the date on, a 1917 Canadian 1 cent coin, and two 1943 5 cent coins.

Very cool. The Aleutians weren't easy, from what I can remember. There's was a battle with the Japs, wasn't there?' They technically did make it onto American soil?

Yes....as part of the Midway battle the Japs sent a force to Alaska and took control of two islands as a diversion. We went up there and ran them off. The weather was much worse than the enemy for both sides....

Neat find. No idea what they’re worth. For the most part, Currency has to be graded to establish a value.


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

What an amazing find. Can't help with value, but I would have that $20.00 bill checked out. Any kind of an error with currency tends to drive up the value.

My dad was in the Aluetians during the war. There were 2 islands involved. He arrived after the Japanese had evacuated. Got pics of lots of snow and salmon being caught with grenades. Also shot reindeer till the natives raised a fuss.
