The old Philippine money owned by the Yaeso family in Candoni, Negros Occidental is around 82 years old and was inherited by Beverly S. Yaeso. These paper bills and coins are fragile and show signs of wear like tears and fading due to age and handling. The money reflects the financial instability during World War II, with both Japanese-issued “Mickey Mouse” bills and locally made guerrilla currencies circulating at the time. These currencies represent Filipino resistance to Japanese occupation and the hardships people faced during extreme inflation. Although conservation steps like careful storage have been taken, its delicate condition still poses preservation challenges.
