NEW Japanese Money in 2024 First Look!

A new 1000, 5000, and 10000 Yen Bank note was just release on July 3rd 2024 in Japan. I was able to get some and compare them to the previous Japanese bank notes.

Which do you prefer? The old or new banknotes?

[@foundinjapan]

I liked the old money but really like the look and feel of the new ones. So I am team new.

[@teawizard6234]

Loving the new style, the art on the back is absolutely gorgeous.

[@pilotgrrl1]

The new money for sure!

[@MntMan1662]

I really like the historical content. Talking not only about how it has changed but there was significance of the people who were on the notes. It adds a little understanding of why these people are important.

[@foundinjapan]

Thank you as always for watching. I really wanted to show some respect to those that were leaving

[@MrX-ot4cv]

Thank You for the video. I wonder how do they look under black light

[@foundinjapan]

@@MrX-ot4cv the Japanese government said they Flores. The pictures I saw weee greens and purples.

[@lukehaynes7363]

This had me cracking me up

[@foundinjapan]

Thanks

The new bills are great looking and have interesting, eminent people on them. It's great to see women on money. It's been a real struggle trying to get Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, and i think it may never happen. I still have a ¥2000 note that was issued in commemoration of the last time Japan hosted the G8. The US will never have interesting money...

[@foundinjapan]

Maybe one day the US money will have have something new. But our money is used as the symbol of money in media so we have that.

[@gotoo5332]

Super interesting, definitely odd how they used two different fonts for "1" between the new 1000 and 10000 note.

[@foundinjapan]

Yeah. Seems it is to help with visually impaired and to keep from being counter fitted.

[@teawizard6234]

Perhaps when counting bills quickly, It would help denote the 1000 vs 10000 quicker.

[@computersandgaming6664]

So, apparently, it was for counterfeiting measures.

[@foundinjapan]

Yeah good to update

[@user-ij2pv3qu6k]

When do the old ones expire?

[@foundinjapan]

They will not expire just stop being made. In my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJq1pqx6np6dasU I talked a little about the life cycle of the money. Basicaly every couple years the bills old bills are destroyed and new ones printed depending on the bill. From now only they will reduce and stop printing the old notes. 20 years ago there was a 2000 yen note for example. It is still usable but mainly only collected and used in Okinawa

[@shathwik81]

Are these notes waterproof ??

[@foundinjapan]

I think they are still made from different types of paper like fibers so I am going to say no.

[@computersandgaming6664]

I like the new 1,000 one a lot. I agree that I don't like the fonts on any of the new ones though, but the great wave on the back is really cool. I wonder what made they change their bank notes...

[@foundinjapan]

I think they change them every 20 or 30 years. I have heard counterfeiting is one reason but maybe also just to help get people to change out money so they can know how much is out there.

[@Diamond_Hanz]

japan's currency is the loser of all loser. losing money for every currency printed while supporting a country that might want to do harm to them. WAY TO GO, JAPAn. 2 to 1 incoming!

[@foundinjapan]

Do you mean ¥ 200 to $1? I hope it doesn’t come to that. The yen remaining week and the Dollar inflating does make things rough

[@ramenpharmacist]

i also heard the ramen vending machiens dont take the new bills

[@foundinjapan]

I need to make a short about it lol
