those bills are really nice, I hope old machines can adapt properly

[@user-mh4ng7cp1w]

Unfortunately, we can find old machines not to adapt yet everywhere. It will take some time, I suppose.

I see the Carp shirt and cap. Are you in Hiroshima ?

[@RolandAroundJapan]

Unfortunately no, just a fan!

How long will the old bills be legal? I still have a few to use when I return in January 2025.

[@user-mh4ng7cp1w]

will be legal forever according to Japanese law
