Japanese centenarians to get cheaper gifts 
Around 31,747 new centenarians in Japan will get cheaper celebratory cups that are traditionally awarded by the government every year, reportedly due to soaring cost of silver cups. In 1963, the tradition began with 153 centenarians, and there were over 60,000 last year. Notably, the average life expectancy in Japan is 87 years for women and 80 years for men.
