Japanese Yen Bill, 22 Types are Valid, I've never seen half of them.

This year Bank of Japan prints 3 types of Japanese yen bills, 1000 yen bill, 5000 yen, and 10000 yen. Those are No. (19), (21), (22) in the list below. Bank of Japan issued many types of bills in the past. Some of them are still valid as the bill. Here is the list of the valid bills in Japan. Old bills are currently out of the market. I have never seen half of them.
