Tokyo: The year-end balance of bank notes in circulation in Japan is estimated at 124,077.8bil yen in 2024, falling for the second straight year, according to Bank of Japan data.
A stack of 10,000-yen bills equivalent to the value would be 1,240km high, about 328 times higher than 3,776m Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in the country.
