During the Japanese occupation of Singapore in World War II, the currency known as "banana notes" was introduced. The price of tapioca and Coca-Cola varied, but tapioca was often sold for around 2 to 3 banana notes per kilogram, while Coca-Cola was priced at approximately 8 to 10 banana notes per bottle. These prices reflected the severe inflation and scarcity of goods during that tumultuous period.
