Japan is about to unveil a monumental change in its currency landscape. On July 3rd, 2024, the Land of the Rising Sun will introduce new banknotes, marking the first redesign in two decades. The denominations set for a makeover include the ¥10,000, ¥5,000, and ¥1,000 notes.
This redesign isn't just cosmetic; it's a leap into the future of currency security. The new banknotes will utilise three-dimensional holograms to combat counterfeiters. These holograms will give the portraits on the banknotes a captivating three-dimensional effect, rotating gracefully when tilted, setting a new standard in currency authentication.
Among the notable figures gracing the redesigned banknotes are Eiichi Shibusawa, Umeko Tsuda, and Shibasaburō Kitasato. The ¥10,000 banknote will feature Eiichi Shibusawa, a titan of Japanese industry who founded over 500 companies, shaping the landscape of modern Japanese society. Meanwhile, the ¥5,000 banknote will honour Umeko Tsuda, an educator dedicated to advancing women's education and status. Finally, the ¥1,000 banknote will pay tribute to Shibasaburō Kitasato, a pioneering microbiologist celebrated as the father of Japanese medicine for his groundbreaking contributions to disease prevention.
