Are one of these bills old?


Came out here for tattoos and tourism. This caught me off guard, is one of them just an old bill?

  1. No. They recently issued new bills so you’ll find a mix of the two around. The old one (bottom) will eventually become less common.

  2. They both spend the same… had a couple of the old ones… they looked at it and said okay we take those too

  3. dont worry both will work. if you lick them both, the saltier one is the older one.

  4. New ones, when they are in your wallet… can’t tell what it is as easily as the denomination is in the middle, not the top right.

  5. the new Yen banknotes were just introduced at the beginning of this year. The old banknotes are still valid and around – and will remain valid for a long time.

  6. the one which looks like stereotype dictator in Asian country is new one

  7. Hopefully not getting suckered for a “traditional” tattoo by the sea wall 😂

  8. The bottom one is the older style, still valid tender, all machines take them. Top one is the new style. For a while some machines didn’t take them. Ditto the name 500¥ coin.
