New 2024 Notes

New things are always exciting, anf for Eurochange, in our world, the world of currencies, the release of new notes (bills) is as exiting as it gets. Lots of countries release notes every year but is not common for the most common currencies to update their notes. At Eurochange we not just exchange currencies, we also like what we do and everything that goes on around it. And this is a topic that we really enjoy. Let´s check the new notes 2024.

Why new notes?

There are many factors that are involved in the creation of a new bank note. We can summarize them in 3: security, design, and event. As the technology advances there are new security measures for the notes and new ways of counterfeit them. That’s why sometimes countries decided to change their notes in order to protect them. Design will be another reason to “update” a note. Some of the world´s notes were designed decades ago, and some of them look out of date, so countries create new notes. And there is another reason, historical events. Some events change the world, and the currencies. When Queen Elizabeth died the pound suffered a redesign in order to show King Charles on the new notes. Some countries also decide to print special notes to commemorate special events. 

As we mentioned just now, the pound is one of the notes that are going to change in the near future. Another common world currency as the Japanese Yen is also going to change in this 2024. But we are not just going to tell you about these changes, we would like to show you and tell you when, why and how.

King Charles Sterling Pounds

Most of you probably seen sterling pounds before, many of you probably used them on the past if you traveled to the UK, and for the longest time those pounds were identified with Queen Elizabeth´s image. But many of you probably did not know that Queen Elizabeth held the world record for appearing in most notes from different countries, we will talk about this some other time. But now we are focusing on the new pounds and when, why, and how they will change. 

The pound will change to show the new King of England, King Charles. The new notes 2024 pounds will be in circulation mid-2024, and the main reason for their change in design its to commemorate the actual head of the state and the commonwealth, King Charles. All the sterling pounds will now show King Charles instead of Queen Elizabeth. A fun fact about these new notes is that King Charles will be facing the opposite way than Queen Elizabeth did, and this is due an old tradition that states that each change on the currency has to change the way the monarch faces.

The New Japanese yen

Japan is country that holds their culture and tradition in a high value. Even there is counterfeit of every currency out there, the Japanese Yen is not a common counterfeited currency. But also, the Japanese Yen did not change as much other currencies with the past of time. Last redesign was in 2004 and it was not a complete renewal of their notes. The 10.000-yen design is being the same since 1984 for example. And that proofs they are a proud culture and tradition.

In this case there all the factors for a new currency design converge. By mid-July 2024 the new Japanese yen banknotes will be in circulation. The new notes 2024 will incorporate new security measures as hologram technology to prevent counterfeiting. The new design will incorporate the image of some of the most recognized faces in Japan, as the founder of the first Japan National Bank, or the founder of the women´s college Tsuda University. But also, this change is due to the revealing of the new era in Japan, Reiwa, under the new emperor’s reign. As a new era begins, the new notes will represent change, advanced and future for Japan.
