9-Note Set: Laos 1960s Banknotes

Officially, Laos was a neutral country during the Vietnam War. Unofficially, their mountainous jungle terrain was a rich smuggling route for weapons coming into South Vietnam to be used by the Viet Cong forces. Hoping to stop the progress of weapons before they could be used against them, the U.S. dropped more bombs on Laos than all the bombs used in WWII combined, making the Southeast Asian nation the most bombed country in world history. These Laotian notes are from the Vietnam War years when they were allied with the communist North Vietnamese. The bills come in uncirculated condition and range from a 1 Kip note up through a 1000 Kip note. 7½"x 4".
