	Myanmar kyat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The kyat was reintroduced as the currency of Burma in 1943, during the Japanese occupation in the Second World War.
		Kyat banknotes were demonetized on a number of occasions with the ostensible aim of fighting fl marketeering, starting with the demonetization of 50 and 100 kyat notes on May 15, 1964.
		On November 3, 1985, the 50 and 100 kyat notes were again demonetized and replaced with new kyat notes in the unusual denominations of 15, 35 and 75, possibly chosen because of dictator Ne Win's predilection for numerology; the 75-kyat note was introduced on his 75th birthday.
