year 2000. You are asked to design this new bill. Using images,
typography, and graphics create a unique and original solution
that takes Japanese currency into the next century. The designs
should have a futuristic, yet distinctly Japanese, feel. The
new bills should not look like they could be from any other country
but Japan.
Typographic information. On both sides you must include:
2000 Yen, Nippon Ginko and Serial Number(s). Design one side in
Japanese, the other in English.

Therefore use safety markings, special patterns, and other techniques
found through your research that will make it difficult to copy.
