TOKYO -- To prevent counterfeiting, Japan will employ cutting-edge three-dimensional holographic technology on a trio of new bank notes that will begin circulation in the first half of fiscal 2024.
The revamped 10,000 yen ($90) and 5,000 yen bills will have vertical hologram stripes with 3D portraits that appear to leap off the notes and rotate when viewed from either the right or left side. The 1,000 yen bill will feature a small hologram as well. The 3D holographic technology will be used in bank notes for the first time in the world, according to the Ministry of Finance.
