Here's what the site said:
United States Dollars Japan Yen
1 USD = 91.8807 JPY 1 JPY = 0.0108837 USD
20.00 USD = 1,837.61 JPY
So to you guys who are also from America, is this good, or bad, or...?  |
It depends... if you are a tourist in Japan and converting dollars to yen, you aren't getting as many yen right now... average is about 100 yen = $1, so this is a bit under that (91). However, if you are working in Japan and being paid in yen, you'll have more US $ when you convert over since it only takes 91 yen instead of 100 to buy $1, so that's a good thing.
