The Japanese Yen (JPY) is the official currency of Japan, issued by the Bank of Japan.
The modern series features influential cultural figures, iconic architecture, and imagery reflecting Japan’s scientific, artistic, and historical achievements.
Recent issues include advanced anti‑counterfeiting technology, tactile elements for accessibility, and crisp, modern layouts that maintain Japan’s reputation for precision and design excellence.
These notes remain the primary legal tender across Japan and are widely recognised throughout Asia and global financial markets.

Before the introduction of the current enhanced‑security series, Japan issued several earlier generations of Yen banknotes.
These withdrawn notes include classic designs featuring statesmen, educators, and traditional Japanese motifs, along with older layouts typical of mid‑20th‑century banknote engraving.
Many of these notes were replaced as the Bank of Japan modernised the currency with stronger security features, updated portraits, and clearer, more durable designs.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, older Yen notes still appear in stored belongings, travel documents, and long‑kept personal items.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated Japanese Yen notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
