On July 3, 2024, the Bank of Japan launched a new series of circulating banknotes.

The new series of banknotes includes three denominations: 1000 yen, 5000 yen, and 10000 yen. It is worth noting that the denomination of 2000 yen is relatively rare, with very little circulation, and new banknotes can be used without the need for exchange.
