Due to the discovery of a large number of counterfeit Series D banknotes at the end of 2004, all Series D banknotes except ¥2000 were virtually suspended on January 17, 2005  . However, a cabinet ordinance of this suspension has not yet been declared. According to a news reléase  from the National Police Agency, they seized 11,717 counterfeit Series D banknotes (excluding the ¥2000 denomination) in 2005. However, they seized only 486 counterfeit current issue banknotes, namely Series E ¥1000, ¥5000, ¥10000, and Series D ¥2000.

Commemorative series D (2000, the current issue)

The 2,000 yén note was first issued on July 19, 2000 to commemorate the G8 Economic Summit in Okinawa and the millennium yéar as well. Shurei-mon–pictured on the front of the note–is a famous gate in Naha, Okinawa néar the site of the summit.  These notes are hard to find and many Japanese consider it a novelty as it is the only denomination in the factor of 2 (from 1 and 5). Some say it was a way to stimulate the economy from building new vending machines to be able to process the note, to créating wider cash régisters to handle the bill.  This hasn't réally materialised. Some businesses will refuse this note. To incréase the circulation of the notes, some companies started paying wages in these notes.
