Some wester catalogs categorize it as a commemorative note for the 'End of the 2ndMillennium and the 26th G8 Summit in Okinawa' but is considered a normal circulation note according to Japanese laws. Because only few vending machines accept this note and even numbers like 2 and 4 are seen as 'unlucky', this note circulates little in comparison with the other denominations. An exception is Okinawa where 40% of the 100 million (as of 2013) banknotes were issued. The intaglio printed tactile mark at the bottom right of the front is the hiragana character に "ni" for two in Braille.
