  • A Japanese social media user shared a video of 10,000 yen banknotes withdrawn from an ATM, each featuring a small stamp of the character 'Pudding Dog.'
  • The post went viral, attracting over 24 million views, with many users commenting on the unusual find.
  • Although the stamped currency is legal tender, the user intends to exchange it for standard banknotes at a bank.

An unusual discovery at a Japanese convenience store ATM has captured the internet's attention, with a user withdrawing multiple 10,000 yen banknotes, each subtly adorned with the beloved character 'Pudding Dog.'

The user, posting under the handle 'ใ‚ณใƒฌใ‚ณใƒฌ๏ผ ้…ไฟกใ‚ขใƒฉใƒผใƒˆ' on the social media platform X, shared a video showcasing the distinctive bills. To prove the authenticity of the find and counter any claims of digital manipulation, a magnified view of the stamps was also provided.

The viral post quickly amassed over 24 million views, sparking widespread discussion among netizens. Many expressed amusement, with comments ranging from calling it a "confusing" but non-criminal act to noting its cuteness while deeming it impractical.

While Japanese law prohibits the defacement of coins under a certain value, there are no specific statutes against altering banknotes in this manner. Consequently, the 'Pudding Dog' yen notes remain legal tender. However, the user has stated their intention to exchange these unique bills for ordinary currency at a bank, rather than using them for transactions.

All of the 10,000 yen notes I withdrew from the ATM have Pom Pom Purin on them lol
