    Japanese WW2 ordnance shell casing

    1. Appears to be a piece of paper that has devalued since 1930 when 20.65 of these were worth 1 ounce of gold.


    or


    2. It could be a brass shell casing for a Japanese Type 90 75 mm field gun.

    Possibly a cut-down 37mm shell?

    EDIT - Are you sure about the "2-1/4 inch" diameter? In your photo, the rim appears to be wider than the dollar bill.....
