The value of Japanese war bonds is nothing, because they are already invalid as bond. As collection, they would have some value. But, they are cheap, because many remain.

During the war, tons of war bonds were issued and people were forced to buy them. However, they became valueless, because of the hyperinflation after the war. People who could not accept that they lost their property kept war bands at hand. So, many war bonds are now remaining.
