DESCRIPTION
Japan is an island country located in the

thousands of temples and shrines. Shinkansen
bullet trains connect the main islands of Kyūshū

Tokyo, the capital, is renowned for its

 Japan currency
Introduced in 1871, the Japanese yen
(Japanese: 円), or JPY, is the official currency of
Japan. The symbol of the yen is ¥, along with
JP¥, which is sometimes used to separate the
Japanese yen from the Chinese yuan renminbi,
which shares the same symbol.
The Japanese currency is the third most
traded currency in the world after the United
States dollar, (USD), and euro (EUR). JPY also
ranks as the fourth reserve currency after the
United States dollar, euro and British pound
(GBP) globally.
Japanese yen banknotes are issued by
Japan’s central bank, the Bank of Japan, in four
denominations: ¥1,000, ¥2,000, ¥5,000 and
¥10,000. Yen coins are issued in six traditional
food in Japan denominations: ¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥50,
¥100 anra and ¥500.
