rare and old cheque books

Frozen money .Ok.
When it will melt?

My ancestor did business in Saigon, Vietnam before second world war. The war threatened him to run away from the field to his mother country, India. He left abandoned all of his wealth both movable and immovable. When he left Saigon, his bank balance was 9,00,000,00 piastres/dollars(?) in the erstwhile The chartered Bank of India, Australia & China ,Saigon. His account number is 1158 a.
After world war, the bank was nationalized and during the course of its restructure, it was renamed twice. Now it is called by name State Bank of Vietnam. After world war the foreign customers were not allowed to operate their account and the bank did not come forward to pay any compensation to foreign victims.  Money is there in the bank, concerned cheque is in the hand, but every thing becomes illusion after the world war. This is a kind of miracle.
After making few unsuccessful attempts to withdraw cash from the bank account by using cheques, the unlucky cheque book was thrown away and was unnoticed years together. After my father, the cheque book came to my notice. I think, it may be one of the rare and old things, a valuable piece to numismatists .I want to sell it out for the benefit of my children and grand children. Those who are interested to  buy this rare cheque book containing 14 unused cheque leaves out of 25 for a fancy price, may contact me through this email- meydhanam@gmail.com
