The Japan FAQ | Old Japanese Money - 日本の古い紙幣 - Japan As It Truly Is @thejapanfaq | Uploaded 12 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Ah, inflation....inflation. Some older Japan hands might remember 30 years ago there were 500 yen bills instead of coins, but these go back way farther. In fact there used to be the Japanese sen as well as yen (100 sen(銭)=1 yen(円)), and there were bills for both. Here you can see examples of 100, 50, 10, 5, and 1 yen bills, plus 10, 20, and 50 sen bills. Japan has come a long way from about 360 yen to the US dollar!
