Japan adopted the yen in 1871 under the Meiji government's New Currency Act, replacing the Edo era's tangle of clan-issued notes and shogunate coinage with one decimal currency. The word yen means round. The Bank of Japan, established in 1882, has issued the notes ever since.

Kenya's shilling dates from 1966, when the newly created Central Bank of Kenya replaced the East African shilling at par. The old regional currency, shared with Uganda and Tanzania, remained valid in Kenya until 1969 while the new notes spread through the country.
