This is not a banknote issued by the Bank of Japan or any recognized monetary authority. Hello Kitty novelty notes are souvenir or gift items produced under Sanrio licensing — they carry no legal tender status and have never circulated as currency. Their collector value, such as it is, sits entirely in the novelty market, not numismatics.
