Japanese Banknotes and Coins

One thing a visitor or a new expat to Japan needs to learn and know about is Japanese money.

Roughly, 2,000 yen is roughly $20.00 U.S. and 10,000 yen is roughly $100.00 U.S. 500 yen is roughly $5.00 U.S. An easy way to figure the dollar equivalent is to move the decimal point two digits to the left from the right.
