  BANK OF JAPAN BANKNOTE SERIAL NUMBER SCHEME HALTED
  

  On November 24, Dow Jones newswires published a report
  that The Bank of Japan said Wednesday had punished five
  employees for illegally obtaining new banknotes with
  special serial numbers such as a specific number lineups.
  

  "The BOJ said the four female and one male rank-and-file
  employees are from the section in charge of issuing
  banknotes at the central bank's Maebashi branch in Gunma
  Prefecture. They cooperated and obtained 11 new notes with
  special characters between Nov. 5 and Nov. 15 by
  exchanging them for new notes with non-characteristic
  serial numbers they had obtained earlier, Kyodo reported.
  

  The five said they wanted to have the special notes for
  the sake of "commemoration" and denied intending to sell
  them on the collectors' markets at higher prices, the
  central bank said, Kyodo reported.
  

  The BOJ punished them by suspending them from the office
  or by cutting their salaries."
