  BACKGROUNDER - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
(1) These notes will reveal that people who tried to use them, almost managed to clean off the original Red overprints of "Military Administration of Burma, Legal Tender in Burma Only" thereby trying to use them as legal tender in India. In the 1940's, 10 Rupees was a pretty good sum for poor or middle class Indians and some may have tried to cash in, if these notes came in their hand. I am not aware if these overprints were bad enough to get faded, because all of the notes which I have seen coming up regularly on eBay do not seem to show any indication of overprints fading even after more than 60 years of issue.
