Japan unveiled a new series of banknotes on Wednesday, marking the first redesign in twenty years. The fresh currency features innovative three-dimensional portraits of trailblazers in various fields, including finance, women’s education, and medical science. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, the National Printing Bureau of Japan has incorporated printed patterns that create holographic effects on the portraits, causing them to appear facing different directions based on the angle from which they are viewed. As Japan’s first new banknotes in two decades, this release represents a significant milestone in the nation’s financial history.
