Do you know this ? I didn't know ! What a surprise !

Hi, there ! I'm ako.
How are you doing ?

Today I 've got a e-mail from one of my friends.
He told me about small letters on bills !
You know what ?

Very very small, oh, I can say "Tiny"?
Several tiny Japanese letters 'katakana'
are on a 1,000 yen bill, a 5,000 yen bill and 10,000 yen bill !!
They are [NI][HO][N].

I yelled, "Really ? Incredible !"
I didn't know that !!!
I am very surprised at this fact.

As soon as possible I took out these bills from my wallet,
I looked into the bills to find small katakanas !

He said that he saw this topic on TV program "Trivia no Izumi".
I didn't see that.
Oh, that's too bad !!!

I have already found "Ni""Ho""N" of katakana
on the both sides ??
(I mean, the surface and the back side ??)
of 1,000 yen bill.

And now, I have just found 5 katakanas on my 5000 bill.
One moreeeeeeeeee !!

What about 10,000 yen bill ?
I grinned.
I found 4,,,,,but still 4 !

Please find out and tell me where !

Ummmmm, I can't sleep tonight until I could find all the katakana on the bills !!

See you soon, I'll be back if I found them all.....

Hello! Sir Tiny, this is ako.

(I don't want to write Mr nor Ms.
I don't have to know your gender.
But tonight, I'd like to call you with some title with respect.
...maybe strange English I wrote....)

Last night, I took a rest.

All tax-payers need it....this season......sigh....

So I got a "RIPOBITAN GOLD" just now !
I tried to find two katakana tonight again.
Harder than before !!

〉5000
〉　　　○ here upside down
〉　　　S11111111

Yes! Thank you so much I could find it !
Finally I could !!

But,,,,,

〉N　　10000 right
〉10000 ○ here shape like upside down fermata

〉　　　B11111111

Mmmmmm......

When I first read this hint, I thought about "upside down fermata".
"Fermata is, I am not sure but,,,is a misic code, maybe..."

It's just like a half moon and a dot inside,,, right ?
Then "upside down fermata" is like.... like.....
a dot in a kind of bowl.....?

So I tried to watch carefully the 10000yen bill.
But where ?

Sir Tiny wrote "10000 right".
I first thought that means "10000" near FUKUZAWA's head !
But if so, why did Sir Tiny write "B1111111" below....
I was confused....

Oh ! How fool ! I got it !

There are two arabic number 10000 on the face of 10000 bill.
At first I carefully looked around one of "10000" near FUKUZAWA.

This was a big mistake !
Sir Tiny means the left one !

Now I understood what you mean.
I found it, katakana N.

Yes, it is like "upside down fermata"..v(^^)v

From tonight on, I can sleep deeply.
I can take a deep breath.

Thank you !
