Question

ok so you kno how in japan, they use yen?

so for everyone dollar you get about 100 yen right?

but thats totally weird because then for a hamburger it costs like 1,000 yen!!? and for expensive clothes it must cost like 100,000 yen. and for houses its like a billion yen!!!!!!!!

so do they have 1 dollar bills like us or is their smallest amount of yens like 100 yens?

but still wouldnt that be so complicated? cuz when you go to the grocery store youd be spending like a thousand yen each time! do they get used to having to pay so many yens there? i mean i just think that'd be so complicated cuz i mean its so many 0's you kno?

do you get what im saying? haha thankss :)

Answer 1

oh my . my brains spinning from all that . lol . couldnt tell you how all that works  

Answer 2

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Japenese currency system...

Answer 3

your the value of yen your posting is probably wrong cause currency doesn't have an exact value but using your system

1cent=1Yen

100Cents=1dollar=100yen

Answer 4

im lost, but suree

haha,  

Answer 5

i lost you after the 2nd paragraph.  but i know they are paper bills. but all of those big numbers are normal to them so...

Answer 6

I got Japanese Cousins and they tried explaining it to me. I got so confused with yen this and yen that! lol

Answer 7

You know, there are other sections in Y!A besides the Adolescent section. I'm pretty sure there's a Japan section, filled with people who actually know about Japan. It might be a good idea to ask this question in a different section.  

Answer 8

Answer 9

lol I have no idea how that works...thank goodness for debit and credit cards =)

Answer 10

It's just having all your currency in pennies. 1$ = 100Y or 100c. see?

i think they would have single yens, but they'd have coins or notes with bigger values.

Answer 11

ha ha i live by woodbury commons (huge outside mall with every outlet store you can think of) and a load of Japanese people come to america to shop there. they advertise it in japan cause their money is worth so much more. that's what your question made me think of. to them thats probably not a lot cause they are used to one yen being so much  

Answer 12

1,000 yen for a hamburger? That's like 10 dollars. Where do you buy a 10 dollar hamburger?

As for the rest of the question, I have know idea. I just wanted to know where to buy a 10 dollar hamburger. =]

Answer 13

It might seem complicated to you or me, but they wont of known any difference,

So spending just.. 3 dollars on a burger must seem odd to them.

Answer 14

all i no is that home are a lot of $$$$$$$$$.!!!!!!! there are a lot of ppl on that small little island.....so the homes in japan are probably more then u said

Answer 15

Yeah its funny to think that instead of $20 for a shirt it would be like 2000 yen. But its so normal to them. They might think we are weird because things must seem so cheap to us! LOL! Their 'dollar' is a yen. But the do have bills that are more, like we have $100 bills, they prob have 100 yen bills. which are like having a bunch of $1s in our pockets! Its a lot of 0s but its totally normal to them.

Answer 16

I think the smallest bill is 100 yen.

It like in Italy, where 100 lira was like 60 cents (last time I went). It's not that hard once you get the hang of it!
