if comeing to japan its important to know what type of money is used here are types of coins (1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 types of bank notes 1000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000 the 2k note as pictred is not used oftern so might not see it as in japan people prefare odd numbers to even there is a few reasons for this Japanese like the number “one.” “three”, “five”, and “seven.”, because of the Shichigosan Festival in which 3-year-old boys and girls, 5-year-old boys, and 7-year-old girls go to shrines to celebrate their growth. also there is a custom where festivals are held on odd numbered days in odd-numbered months. January 1 (first day of the first month) is New Year’s Day, March 3 (third day of the third month) the Girl’s Festival, May 5 (fifth day of the fifth month) the Boy’s Festival, July 7 (seventh day of the seventh month) the Star Festival, so most prices will be odd like 300¥,5,000¥ etc
