Re- leased in October, was used for more than six months without anyone being the wiser. You’d have to be pretty eagle-eyed to catch this typo, however — an Instagram post by an Australian radio brand Triple M first highlighted the misspelled word “responsibility” in the bill’s microprint, after a listener posted a photo to social media. The radio station’s displayed under a magnifying glass, the typo. these notes won’t reach circirculation until the end of 2019. Last print run produced 46

MATTHEW BEEDHAM Twitter user posted a video of them asking the heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, what he thought of Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, yesterday. The Prince’s response? “Oh yes, it’s a very interesting de- velopment.” The Tweeter caught Prince Charles in Berlin, The Prince of Wales can be seen initially dismissing the Tweeter’s questions, but seems to gather himself when the word “blockchain” is mentioned. If that’s not a royal seal of approval, I don’t know what is. The tweet has already been liked over 1,900 times and retweeted nearly 500 times. If you sell now, you’re a fool. One other enterprising. Prince Charles and Camilla arrived in Germany to com- mence a four-day visit which is an attempt to “extend the hand of friendship over Brexit.” Indeed, it’s not the first time blockchain and Brexit have been mentioned in the same article.

Japan issuing new celebrating Emperor ’s enthronement

The 10,000-yen (US$92) coin costs a lot more than 10,000 yen. ’s Ministry of Finance re- cently announced that the country’s three denomination of yen bills will be getting redesigns in 2024 On May 1, the ascension ceremony was held for Emperor Naruhito. However, the emperor’s enthronement ritual won’t take place until October, at which time the will be issuing two special coins to commemorate the historic event. The first of these is a two-tone 500-yen (US$4.60) coin, made of nickel and copper. The coin’s face depicts the Takamikura, the octagonal canopied dais and chair upon which the emperor sits as the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan are present- ed to him during the ceremony. Reverse side is h the imperial family’s chrysanthemum crest surrounded by a wreath made of branches of the Japanese cherry birch and Japanese rose (rosa rugosa). Ringing the coin’s surface is the in- scription “Nation of Japan, Era First Year. The special 10,000-yen coin, bears a phoenix soaring above wispy clouds on its front, However, while the 500-yen coin can be obtained by request from banks for its face value of 500 yen, the 10,000-yen coin will actually cost you 140,555 yen. Why the 14-times markup? Because the 20-gram (0.7-ounce) coin is made out of pure gold. 5 mil- lion 500-yen coins will be issued, along with 50,000 10,000-yen coins, with 30,000 of each offered in a two-coin, 142,593-yen set. The pure-gold coins will only be available for purchase directly from the Japan Mint at a yet-undisclosed date, but regular banks across the country will begin issuing the 500-yen coin starting in October, with September being the first chance to submit applications The Numismatic Reporter
