Rate Reduction List
Since we purchase at the highest exchange rate in the industry, we strictly appraise current banknotes. The rate reduction basically applies to current banknotes, but for older banknotes, we do allow for some small stains and deterioration due to the passage of time, so not all banknotes will have a rate reduction, but if the degree of deterioration is significant, the rate will be reduced.
Old banknotes are often in the condition of items ⑥ and above. We have divided them into categories ① through ⑫, so please check each before sending. We may refuse to accept minor currencies in categories ⑧ through ⑫
Please note that the final decision on the extent of the damage is made by our store.
①Pencil（Today's Rate×99％）
If you thoroughly remove any mechanical pencil or pencil marks yourself, they will not affect your rating.
②Scribble（Today's Rate×97％）
This refers to banknotes that have small, oily graffiti (such as numbers) on them.
③Scribble（Today's Rate×97％）
Oil-based scribble on portraits may not be accepted, so please contact us for details.
④Scribble Oily（Today's Rate×95％～97％）
This corresponds to medium-weight oil-based scribbles (such as number calculations and sums).
⑤Stamp（Today's Rate×97％）
This is common with US dollars, but there are often stamps on the back. If there is one or more stamps, the rate will go down.
⑥Wrinkles（Today's Rate×70％）
This is especially true for old banknotes and bills. When receiving your change, ask to exchange these bills.
⑦Hole（Today's Rate×70％）
Banknotes with minor holes, such as staple marks, are often rejected by dealers, resulting in a significant drop in the exchange rate. For high-value banknotes in countries like Singapore and Brunei, even a tiny staple hole can cause a drop in the exchange rate.
⑧Tear（Today's Rate×50％）
It's strange why these bills continue to be in circulation, but this is a common feature of old notes and banknotes. In most cases, they are not traded between dealers, so the rate drops significantly.
⑨Large Tear（Today's Rate×10％）
If the banknotes are severely torn for some reason, it is unlikely that even local banks will exchange them.
⑩Large Scribble（Today's Rate×10％）
If the banknotes are severely torn for some reason, it is unlikely that even local banks will exchange them.
⑪Large Stain（Today's Rate×10％）
Not available for purchase in some countries.
⑫Please contact us
Banknotes in such poor condition that the pattern is barely discernible due to excessive wear (even if it is possible, it must be less than 10% of the displayed rate)
