===Redenomination proposals===
Numerous proposals have been made since the 1990s to [[Redenomination|redenominate]] the yen by introducing a new unit or new yen, equal to 100 yen, and nearly worth one U.S. dollar. This has not happened to date, since the yen remains trusted globally despite its low unit value, and due to the huge costs of reissuing new currency and updating currency-reading hardware. The negative impact of postponing upgrades to various computer software until redenomination occurs, in particular, was also cited.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Coalition+sets+up+talks+on+yen%27s+redenomination-a057825429|title=Coalition sets up talks on yen's redenomination. - Free Online Library|access-date=December 14, 2021|archive-date=December 14, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211214214921/https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Coalition+sets+up+talks+on+yen%27s+redenomination-a057825429|url-status=live}}</ref>
