💡 Fun facts about JPY
1
The symbol ¥ comes from the Japanese word 'en' (円, circle/round) — pronounced 'yen' in old dialects; the two horizontal lines symbolize stability, like € and £
2
Japanese banknotes from the 2024 series are the first in the world with a rotating 3D hologram — the portrait moves three-dimensionally when you tilt the note
3
Japanese banknote paper is made from mitsumata fiber (Edgeworthia chrysantha tree), a plant endemic to Japan — no other country uses this material
4
The Bank of Japan was established in 1882, modeled after the National Bank of Belgium; the first Japanese coin (Wado kaichin) dates back to 708 AD
5
The 5-yen coin (with a hole in the middle) is considered lucky — the word 'go-en' (5 yen) is pronounced identically to 'go-en' (connection with the divine)
6
Japan is one of the most cash-intensive developed societies — cash still accounts for over 50% of transactions, despite having the most advanced technology in the world
