New banknotes are issued on July 3, 2024.
Taking advantage of the issuance of the new banknotes,
"When the banknotes are switched to the new banknotes, the old banknotes will no longer be usable. Our staff will be happy to exchange them for you now."
〇 "Are you keeping your old banknotes in a safe deposit box? ？ There is a possibility that your bank deposits will be checked under the My Number system and a tax audit will be conducted. We can temporarily hold your banknotes for your expenses."
0 "Due to the switch to the new banknotes, taxes will be imposed on the cash you keep at home. Please transfer the money to the designated account for deposit."
〇 "We are investigating whether the new banknotes can be used at ATMs nationwide as part of a government policy. We will pay you a reward for your cooperation in operating ATMs as a monitor."

Old banknotes can still be used after new banknotes are issued.

If you receive a phone call, email, or other message that mentions "money", it is a scam ！
If you receive a suspicious phone call, email, or visit that says "the old bills will no longer work", do not respond alone; consult a family member, friend, or the police immediately.
