This is not a banknote. It is a novelty or souvenir item featuring Sanrio's Tuxedo Sam character and has no monetary status whatsoever — the Bank of Japan has never issued a plastic, gold-foil coated note of any denomination. Including it in a numismatic catalog without that clarification would be misleading to any collector treating it as currency-adjacent.
