About the Japanese Yen

The Japanese Yen (JPY, ¥) is issued by the Bank of Japan and, unlike most currencies, has no minor unit in everyday use — amounts are quoted in whole yen, so a price is written as ¥10,000 with no decimal places. The yen is one of the world's most-traded currencies and a traditional safe-haven, which makes it relatively liquid against African currencies even though direct JPY/Africa interbank markets are thin and most rates are derived through the US dollar. For African importers the yen matters most in two arenas: capital goods and machinery (Japan is a major supplier of vehicles, plant and electronics across the continent), and the used-vehicle trade, where Japan is the dominant export source for right-hand-drive markets in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and beyond. Because the per-unit yen value is small against currencies like the naira or shilling, buyers usually convert in tens of thousands of yen.

How to send Japanese Yen to Zimbabwe
