About Nigerian Naira (₦)
The Nigerian Naira (NGN, ISO 4217 code 566, symbol ₦) is the official currency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN, est. 1958). Subdivided into 100 kobo. Banknotes: ₦5, ₦10, ₦20, ₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500, ₦1,000 (the highest denomination; current series features Nigerian historical figures including Sir Tafawa Balewa, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, and includes the famously short-lived redesigned 2022 series); coins are rarely used in daily transactions. CBN announced a 'currency redesign' in October 2022 (new ₦200, ₦500, ₦1,000 banknotes) requiring withdrawal of old notes — implementation was chaotic, with widespread cash shortages in early 2023 contributing to election-period unrest. Nigeria is Africa's largest economy by nominal GDP (~$390B in 2024 per IMF WEO) and the world's 13th-largest oil producer (~1.4 million bpd). CBN abandoned the formal peg to USD in June 2023 under the new Bola Tinubu administration, unifying the official and parallel rates — naira depreciated ~70% in 12 months. Inflation reached 33%+ in 2024.
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).
