New Yen, New Scams

Heads up, Japan! The government is rolling out new yen bills, and with it comes a warning. As the latest designs hit the streets, fraudsters are gearing up to take advantage.

The first redesign of Japan’s paper currency in 20 years is something the government announced back in 2019, and in fact, the yen bills currently in use in Japan haven’t been printed since 2022. 🗓️

The new 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000-yen bills not only change up the dignitaries who appear on their front sides but also have new artwork on their backs, including a reproduction of Japan’s most famous painting, The Great Wave off Kanagawa! 🌊

New bills go into circulation this summer. So we advise you to stay alert and make sure you’re not getting duped. Always double-check your cash! 💵
