Exclamation Can I still use old currency notes?
Hi

Need some advice on the usage of old currency notes in Japan. I have changed some Japanese Yen in Singapore and was given some old notes design that are no longer in circulation. The money changer has assured me that it is still legal tender and accepted in Japan. I have checked the Bank of Japan website and it seems that the notes are still legal tender. Would I have problem using those notes?

The notes can be found in the following PDF file: http://www.boj.or.jp/en/money/basic/...ta/money01.pdf, which can be downloaded from BOJ website: http://www.boj.or.jp/en/money/basic/now/okane.htm.

The notes which I have are found in Page 2 of the PDF file, top left corner. Would appreciate any advice or assistance on this as I am travelling to Japan tomorrow.

Many thanks again.
