Mickey Mouse Minnie Mouse Disney Vintage Japanese Play Money 80 Yen Toy Banknote

Description

This listing is for one vintage Japanese toy banknote featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, with a printed denomination of 80 yen.

Japanese children's play money, commonly known as kodomo ginko notes, imitates the appearance of banknotes for pretend play. This example combines a banknote-style border and denomination with cartoon character imagery. It is a toy note, not legal tender.

Minnie stands on the left in a yellow skirt, facing Mickey on the right in blue-gray shorts with yellow buttons. Red rays spread across the background beneath an ornate green border. Circular corner ornaments contain the numeral 8, while the large central denomination reads “八拾圓” (80 yen), with “80” printed below. The upper inscription reads “子供銀行アソビ,” meaning children's bank play, and the number 8900 appears near the upper left.

The note is made from thin, translucent material with a glossy front and a less glossy reverse. The design is visible in mirror image from the back. Its exact material composition has not been identified.

Approximately 3.8 inches wide, as shown against the ruler. The maker, exact production date, and formal series name have not been confirmed.

The combination of Mickey and Minnie, Japanese lettering, and a radiating red background gives this piece interest across Disney character collecting, vintage toy money, and Japanese graphic ephemera.
The item shown in the photos is the exact toy note you will receive. The ruler is not included.

Condition
Vintage toy note with a noticeable vertical center fold, additional creasing, and light edge and corner wear. Age-related yellowing and localized discoloration are visible, particularly around the margins. The colorful design and denomination remain clearly visible; the artwork shows through in reverse from the back because the material is translucent.
