Quick easy ten points on a question about yen in japan?!?

Question:


How is yen in japan divided up into different parts and what are their names? Also, what are the values of those different parts?

For Example:
US Currency;
Quarter (Part) = 25 cents (value of that part)
Dime (Part) = 10 cents (value of that part)
Nickel (Part) = 5 cents (value of that part)
Penny (Part) = 1 cent (Value of that part)

And so on, and so on..., so can somebody please help me out here and help me to find all the different parts of yen/how it is divided up, and the values of those parts? Thanks ahead of time!

Answer:


Japan doesn't have names for each coin, like nickel and dime, but there are 1,5,10,50,100, and 500 yen coins. Bills are similar in that there are 1000, 2000, 5000, and 10,000 yen notes. The 2000 yen bill is virtually unused and like a US 2 dollar bill. The public didn't really want it and vending machine makers would not adapt their machines to it.
As of today the yen is about 80.09 to the dollar, depending on which world market you are looking at.
You can easily check the daily changes at sites like www.oanda.com or xe.com - If you want to see pics there's a site with photos at http://www.thejapanfaq.com/japanfaq1c.ht…
