Money. Hello Kitty is on fucking money.

?AnimeVice reports this is some kind of marketing ploy in Tokyo’s Asakusa district, because, obviously, Sanrio really needs to get the word out about Hello Kitty in Japan. Asakusa is known as a historic district, and thus the Hello Money will be of classic Japanese coins. However, over 500 shops in Asakusa will accept these things as actual money during the promotion, whenever the hell it runs.

Does the fact that Sanrio is effectively making its own currency freak anyone else the fuck out? Like the world economy isn’t in enough trouble without worrying about whether the money is cute enough. I swear to god we’re all going to end up sucking cock for Keroppi keychains.
