<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 25524995, member: 15588&quot;]I haven&#039;t seen these for sale anywhere yet, but I&#039;m guessing I might want to try Ebay. </p><p><br /></p><p>There was an interesting piece on NHK about the new Japanese bills. They surveyed some people on the street and one person said &quot;it doesn&#039;t look like Japanese money.&quot; I think that&#039;s because they moved the Kanji numerals to the margins and instead highlighted the Arabic numerals in the center of the bills. I personally really liked the Kanji numerals highlighted on the old series, but I understand that they were moved to conform to international standards. </p><p><br /></p><p>The piece also said that Japan has taken a sharp turn towards electronic money since these new notes were announced a few years ago. Since new series only appear once in a great while in Japan (series E, the previous banknote series, first appeared in 2004, or twenty years ago), the piece predicted that these could be the final new series of paper notes that Japan prints. We&#039;ll see if that comes true or not, or course. But who knows where things will stand in 20 years?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
