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.

Congress created the dollar with the Coinage Act of 1792, the law that also established the US Mint. Today's bills are Federal Reserve Notes, issued through the central bank created in 1913. Federal paper money itself dates to 1861, first printed to help fund the Civil War.
