I'm not saying that the government is going to get rich, but if it adds 10s of millions to the budget for a year or two, it's a nice bonus.

How is it simply not an update to the software? Surely there is a hacky way around this that'd cost nothing but an open source piece of software.

I think this is the time to develop vending/ticket machines to use A.I imaging so they just update the software whenever a new bill is being circulated. I'm not an expert in monetary bills security but if they can properly secure the software updates and integrate it with new bills that would be a game changer.

Now just fix the banking system, so that people don't actually have to use cash for daily transactions due to exorbitant fees on card payments, and we'll be chilling.

Its time they make it digital payment now

A couple years back they introduced new 500 yen coins and businesses made the same complaint. By today almost all machines accept the new coins. It's not a big deal. It's hardly even news, honestly. Also, I use cash for 99.9% of my transactions in Japan. Using methods like digital payment and credit card, it is simply too easy to let your expenditures get ahead of you. It's too easy to spend. Dwindling cash reserves lets you more accurately feel how much you are actually spending. I will continue to use cash even if the government tries to push digitalization.

Governments like digital-only because it makes it easier for them to tax. And sometimes steal the Bank savings from someone due to a new law or patriotic need. So as a consumer you shouldn't have 100% of your savings as a digital account. Having a fraction as physical cash and some other goods like a house, car, gold and silver is wise.

I don't understand why this problem exists. Mexico is a country with a similar amount of people that is also a VERY cash-based society. The Bank of Mexico, however, updates the design of banknotes every 5 years or so, and yearly introduces new commemorative coins for practically anything (the 100th anniversary of XYZ, the works of ABC author, etc.) without this problem with machines showing up. Sure, some businesses have to wait in line to be upgraded, but nowhere near to the scale that Japan is facing according to this video. Didn't the central bank give time to manufacturers of scanners and readers to adjust before the new money is circulated? Or better yet, why don't the central bank and manufacturers ally to make the scanners that recognize only certain safety features that can remain the same in all versions of a banknote or coin regardless of design upgrades?

Small businesses just mad the public didn’t pay all the costs for the updates to their POS machines, because somehow the act of accepting legal tender isn’t a cost of doing business 🤷🏻💴

I wonder why an technologically advanced country such as Japan still insists on cash rather than electronical payment. Maybe because Japan has a lot of boomers (born between 1945~ late 1950's) who took part in the liberal student movements during the late 1960's. Those people, now being a senior in their 60's and 70's, seem to have a negative view about the government controlling the monetary flow through digital currency (such as the case in China) and may prefer the usage of cash. These seniors are important voters for the local politicians, so this could be a reason why Japan still prefers the old-school method 🙄.

Why not go cashless, so much easier, cheaper and safer.

Wonder if it's related to their economy dropping recently.

Japan have a big problem with cashless after they have too many national emercency things how be earthquake, tsunami, big fires how happend often at many rual places. The wireless net mostly not work at emergencies and wrire net is easy to cut. Most people not use satellit technology for data and tv services. It is normally then that they be fear if they not use the new bank notes in the normal business then the old one must be cut out quickly. We should not forget that they use ATM and sell machines near 2 pices every m². It is the highest use of them worldwide! We have just two cigarette seller machines in our German village for around 600 people. 😂

If cashless payments were to be disabled at all shops and machines in an area, people could redirect to places with a human cashier and switch back to cash momentarily. They could also make machines with an emergency mode when wireless is out. And they must also be looking into ways to make the wireless network withstand emergencies, as that's quite important.

We manage to do it just fine everywhere else in the world. But a lot of older people are scared of change, and may be put off if the system they've used for 15 years changes suddenly.
