Dollar At 6-Year High of 109 Yen

The U.S. dollar today reached a six-year high above 109 yen in Tokyo trading.

According to Jiji Press:

At 5 p.m., the dollar stood at 109.09-10 yen, up from 108.54-55 yen at the same time Thursday. 

This is good news for U.S. travelers to Japan. With the dollar this high, ordinary travelers will get at least 100 yen per dollar exchanged (probably slightly more).
