Unlike the Japanese girl at the end of the video, I'm not excited to get the new bank notes in my hands...but as long as they help prevent counterfeits, that is good news.

Legend has it he was highly sexually active even in his eighties and that in total he fathered 100 children by numerous lovers.

Once you get some of those bank notes with Eichi's heavenly face in your hands, you are going to rub one out so hard it is going to tear him in half!

Legend has it one of his close associates once pulled him aside and suggested he use a condom to which he replied: "What the fuck is a condom?"

"Aso said the government will not redesign the ¥2,000 bill because the number of bills in circulation “is extremely small.”

Yeah, Sainsburys bank has them all.

I got 100 x ¥2000 notes last time I changed a decent amount of cash.

Counterfeiting is almost a non-issue in Japan, according to my trusted sources.

How much do you pay for your trusted sources? Is it the normal 40% of the face value of the bills?

The most counterfeited currency in Japan is the 500 yen coin.

Well, the 500 yen coin already looks fake to begin with. Quite often when I'm looking at one, I start to feel like a pirate holding some gold I plundered from my enemies arrrrr! Or I just sometimes feel like I just have some leftover tokens from Chuck E Cheese's lol.
