I found my father's pre-WW2 coins during the US occupation of the Philippines. The coins were minted from US Banks, but have Philippine monetary value. For example, I have a coin that shows "United States of America 1903" with a bald eagle emblem in the front, but the back shows "Five Centavos Filipinas."
Basically, the Philippines was a US territory from 1898 - 1945. So, I suppose this is why the coins were minted.
Do these have any value whatsoever? Thanks.
