Measures Policy 4-1-1: Formulate a plan for the production and issue of Bank of Japan notes and coins Policy B-1: Formulate a production plan to ensure the smooth supply of currency In order to ensure that citizens can use the currency to settle a variety of economic transactions with confidence and peace of mind, the MOF will formulate a plan for currency production that facilitates the smooth provision of currency, taking into account such matters as the currency circulation situation. With regard to notes and coins to be produced in FY2015, the MOF verified the required number and made the requisite changes to a production plan during the fiscal year to ensure the smooth supply. The MOF supplied the Bank of Japan notes smoothly through production as planned. The MOF formulated a production plan for the Bank of Japan notes and the coins for FY2016 in consideration of the status of their circulation in the market so as to ensure the smooth supply.

In addition to exchanging views with currency authorities of foreign countries, the MOF checked a liaison system in the event of the discovery of counterfeit currency with relevant organizations within Japan, such as the National Printing Bureau, Japan Mint, Bank of Japan, police authority and customs authority, and exchanged information more closely with these organizations. Furthermore, the MOF took all possible measures to ensure the appropriate operation of the nation s monetary system, including continued replacement old 500-yen coins with new ones, issue of commemorative coins that adopt highly counterfeit-resistant techniques, and environment improvement to prevent the counterfeiting and forgery of currency and the use of such currency by delivering awareness-raising posters.
