    Nah, very common, and not just handwritten either. If you image search for 値札 (price tag) you get tons of results with the 円 version like below. I see it all the time in stores.

        I’m sorry, but you’re simply wrong. For example, every conbini in the country has virtually all their goods labeled with 円 instead of ¥, which alone is tens of thousands of shops. I dunno if you ran into a few weird shops in your time in Japan, but I’m telling you that daily life here involves way more “en” than “yen”.
