Can we please correct the name of the currency of Manchoukuo from Yen to Yuan? This can clearly be seen from the banknotes, e.g.,

Do we have 3 yuans now?
Yen --> Yuan (1937-1945)
Yuan (1934-1945)
Yuan (1912-1948)
Wikipedia states the Yen now Yuan would have been issued between 1932 and 1945.

The others were from other parts of China, wrongly used for Manchoukuo. All notes are now assigned to the Manchoukuo currency.

Please change the spelling of the country name as well - to 'Manchukuo'.

​Unless there's a good reason not to, I agree. Numista does seem to be out on a limb here.

It's a valid but older transliteration going after the Chinese pronunciation the u on after Manchu/Japanese ... the only "correct" way would be ᠮᠠᠨᠵᡠᡤᡠᡵᡠᠨ or 滿洲國.
But personally I'm not against an o less.
