Japanese Yen
The currency of Japan is the yen (JPY). It is the third most traded currency in the world.
The Japanese central bank – the Bank of Japan – was founded in 1882, but the country’s currency history is much older. The Bank of Japan began minting coins in the eighth century. Japan has the oldest population1 of the countries’ currencies we offer.
The yen has lagged other currencies over recent years. This benefits its export economy.
