It’s also one of the reasons why the Swiss Franc keeps updating their currency every decade or so (new issues deeming the old ones void) while the US Dollar remains the same for a long time.
To put into perspective: there’s Beluga (a type of caviar) in Switzerland that costs Fr. 1000 or over 1.2k USD, so a Fr. 1000 bill will be accepted at luxury or high end stores.
I’ve seen a video where a German woman wanted to buy flowers with that bill but was told they don’t have enough change to hand back hence why they politely refused despite the fact this bill exists and is legal tender.
Just have this instead, it’s much more compact (~$1.2k in your pocket) -
romaji
Relying too much on romaji is bad, try to read using furigana (which is a hiragana transliteration on top of Kanji).
Have you ever read subtitles (日本語字幕) without pausing? Whenever I watch a non-Japanese movie, I just enable JP subs and you need a very good grasp on reading Kanji in real time since you’re reading translated dialog, and sometimes you can notice translation mistakes if you know where to look based on visual context within the scene. For Japanese movies: I sometimes enable closed captions to understand clearly what they’re saying.

Why is the US$100 bill the most counterfeited?
I mean, the 100 USD bill is NOT the highest valued bill in the world, that belongs to the former B$10000 bill (withdrawn) from Brunei (I’m serious, this exists) which is worth $7874 and yes it’s a single bill, also converting to around £5803 & 6677€ respectively. Like why does this bill even exist when it’s hard to encounter, given that Brunei is a petro-state, it comes as no surprise.
Do taxes still incur on foreign lottery winnings? (Non-USD)
You’ve won 10,000,000 Rials from a lottery in Oman upon purchasing a lucky ticket by chance, but it’s given to you all in cash (each stack is worth around 5000 Rials, given to you via 2 travel sized suitcases). It’s a lot more money when you factor in currency exchange.
Does Scottish Pound bare the same value as (British) Pound Sterling?
Despite Scotland being considered as part of the United Kingdom, they print their own currency which issued by the Bank of Scotland (but the confusing part is that there’s no separate currency code for Scottish Pounds) and the fact it is “legal currency” but not officially legal tender (even in Scotland itself), it’s weird.
Is Oman neutral from the war?
Whenever you hear news about the Iranian conflict, it concentrates a lot more on what’s happening in the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia or Qatar but for some reason not much updates from Oman about that despite them being a GCC member state. Does that mean Oman is spared from the conflict despite being adjacent to Iran regarding their geography?

Do YOU consider Kanji difficult?
I mean, think of it this way: it comes down to how often you come across words in any language including English (even in ENG: you may forget how to spell words correctly if you don’t use or encounter them often), kind of the same logic with Kanji: a Japanese person doesn’t know all Kanji in the same way English speakers doesn’t know every single word that exists in ENG.
Is an individual's debt rescinded when they passed away?
The scenario is like this: boyfriend has unpaid debt (either from loansharks or the bank themselves) however he died from a terminal illness before debt collectors can get to him, but does his death automatically “erase” the unpaid debt he owes as he’s gone?
Will these currencies lose value due to the Iran War?
I mean, due to the war with Iran: will these currencies (mentioned below) lose value because the strait of Hormuz is under threat despite that route being vital for the transportation of crude oil worldwide?
