Manchukuo yuan

CUR-V26-MANCHUKUO-YUAN · Research draft

Separate regional yuan stipulated in1932currency law; concurrent with ROCyuan and old regional monies, not merely an issuer/name switch.

One scoped currency identity. Changes to subdivisions, scale, standard, instruments or issuers do not by themselves create children. A distinct account unit can remain a successor.
Dated observations: 1932–1946; this does not establish the entire lifetime.
