About Kuwaiti Dinar (د.ك)
The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD, ISO 4217 code 414, symbol د.ك or KD) is the official currency of the State of Kuwait, issued by the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK, est. 1969). Subdivided into 1,000 fils. Banknotes: 1/4 KD, 1/2 KD, 1 KD, 5 KD, 10 KD, 20 KD (the highest denomination; current 6th series introduced 2014 features Kuwaiti heritage themes — old Kuwaiti houses, the dhow boat, falconry, oil industry, Kuwait Towers); coins: 5 fils, 10 fils, 20 fils, 50 fils, 100 fils (very small denominations, rarely used). KWD is consistently the world's highest-valued currency by face value (~$3.26 per 1 KD as of 2024). KWD is pegged to a weighted basket of major trading-partner currencies (officially undisclosed weights, with USD reported to be ~75% of the basket since the 2007 transition from a pure USD peg). Kuwait holds the world's 6th-largest proven oil reserves (~101 billion barrels) and the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA) is the world's 4th-oldest sovereign wealth fund (est. 1953, ~$770B AUM).
About Japanese Yen (¥)
The Japanese Yen (JPY, ISO 4217 code 392, symbol ¥) is the official currency of Japan, issued by the Bank of Japan (BoJ, est. 1882). Not subdivided in modern usage (the historical 1/100 sen and 1/1000 rin units were demonetized in 1953). Banknotes: ¥1,000 (Hideyo Noguchi → Kitasato Shibasaburō on 2024 new series), ¥5,000 (Higuchi Ichiyō → Tsuda Umeko on 2024 new series), ¥10,000 (Fukuzawa Yukichi → Shibusawa Eiichi on 2024 new series); coins: ¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥50, ¥100, ¥500. The 2024 new-series banknotes were the first major redesign since 2004. JPY is the world's third-largest reserve currency (~6% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER 2024), the third-most-traded currency (after USD and EUR) per BIS Triennial Survey, and historically a major funding currency for carry trades. BoJ has maintained ultra-loose monetary policy (Yield Curve Control YCC, then phased out March 2024 with first rate hike since 2007).
