Whether you're travelling to Japan or trading on the foreign currency market, the Japanese yen is in wide use as third most traded currency in the world. The yen is also a prominent reserve exchange currency after the US dollar, the euro and pounds sterling.
Yen notes come in denominations of JPY$1000, 2000, 5000 and 10,000, and due to the low exchange value of a single yen, Japanese yen are usually quoted in multiples of 10,000 for large exchanges. You can buy yen notes securely from OnlineFX in amounts starting at £50 exchange.
