QuestionWhat are the dimensions and weight of Japanese banknotes?
Answer
Sizes of Japanese banknotes (Bank of Japan notes) currently issued are as follows.
| Denomination (yen) | Height (mm) | Width (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | 76 | 160 |
| 5,000 | 76 | 156 |
| 2,000 | 76 | 154 |
| 1,000 | 76 | 150 |
A bundle of 1,000 Bank of Japan notes currently issued is about ten centimeters thick (about 0.1 millimeter thick per note) and weighs about one kilogram (about one gram per note). The sizes, thickness and weight of banknotes do not differ according to denomination but may vary slightly depending on conditions such as humidity.
