The ¥2,000 note (二千円紙幣, nisen-en shihei) is a denomination of Japanese yen, that was first issued on July 19, 2000, to commemorate the 26th G8 Summit and the millennium.[1] The banknote is notable for not being a commemorative banknote under Japanese law, and circulates as a regular issue.[1][2] It is also currently the only unit of Japanese currency that uses a denomination with a multiple of 2.
