Description
Front of note: Japanese politician and the 20th Prime Minister of Japan Takahashi Korekiyo;
The banknotes of the Japanese yen are part of the physical form of Japan's currency. The issuance of the yen banknotes began in 1872, two years after the currency was introduced. Throughout its history, the denominations have ranged from 0.05 yen to 10,000 yen. Between 1917 and 1922, the government issued 10, 20 and 50 sen notes. 50 sen notes were reintroduced in 1938. In 1944, 5 and 10 sen notes were introduced by the Bank of Japan. By the early 1950s, notes below 50 yen had been replaced by coins, followed by those for 50 and 100 yen in the late 1950s. In 1957 and 1958, 5000 and 10,000 yen notes were introduced. The 500 yen notes were replaced after 1982, while 2000 yen notes were introduced in 2000.

The Irving Noon-Day Lions conduct several Vision Clinics during the IISD school year. Students are referrd byn their school nurses through the Head Nurse's Office and come to the Irving YMCA to be screened by an Optomitrist on the Lions Sight & Tissue Foundation Vision Van (a 40 foot Blue Bird equipped with 2 doctor stations and other screening equipment). They pick out a frame and the glasses are then delivered to the school in 3-4 weeks. This provides them with better vision in the classroom which has been shown to improve performance.
