On July 3, Japan released new banknotes that feature advanced hologram technology and tactile patterns to prevent counterfeiting. The new banknotes come in denominations of 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 1,000 yen, with larger numerals for easier reading.
To ensure the security of the new banknotes, they were distributed under tight measures to financial institutions and ATMs across the country. Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized the importance of paper money in the digital age as electronic payments become more popular.
The new banknotes feature historical figures who have made significant contributions to Japanese culture and science. Umeko Tsuda is on the 5,000 yen note, Shibasaburo Kitasato on the 1,000 yen note, and Eiichi Shibusawa on the 10,000 yen note. These figures are honored for their impact on Japanese society.
To combat counterfeiting, the banknotes include advanced hologram technology such as a 3D stripe that changes image direction and holograms on specific corners of the notes. The new designs also include larger numbers that are easier to read and special markings to assist visually impaired individuals in distinguishing between different denominations.
Japan is leading the way in using hologram technology to combat counterfeiting with an expected circulation of 7.5 billion new banknotes by 2025. The new designs represent a significant advancement in security and technology for Japanese currency.
