The 500 yen coin was first minted in 1982 to replace the 500 yen note, which continued to be used alongside it until April 1, 1994. Soon, it became the victim of counterfeiting, as the South Korean 500 won coin could be easily modified to the exact weight of the ¥500 coin. As the ₩500 coin was roughly one-tenth the value of the ¥500 coin, these modified coins could be used at vending machines to produce a profit. Microprinting reading "Nippon" is found on both the obverse and reverse of the coin.〔(Micro Characters on New 500-Yen Coin Found !! )〕 Within the span of a few years, vending machines were replaced by new models by manufacturers which verified coins based on electrical conductivity; while the old style 500 yen coins are still in circulation, many vending machines no longer accept them. Despite these anti-counterfeiting measures, the coin is still the target of counterfeiters in Japan.
