Description

type:01 紀要論文 / Departmental Bulletin Paper

The Japanese government issued new \2000 yen notes as part of the year 2000 millennial celebrations, but contrary to expectations they are rarely seen in circulation. While there are existing mathematical theories about the best denominations to use to minimize the amount of change given in financial transactions, this problem can also be reexamined as a difference between Eastern and Western cultures and their respective predilection for even and odd numbers, which might explain why the \2000 bill has not taken root here.
