About Peruvian Sol (S/)
The Peruvian Sol (PEN, ISO 4217 code 604, symbol S/, renamed from 'Nuevo Sol' to simply 'Sol' in December 2015) is the official currency of the Republic of Peru, issued by the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú (BCRP, est. 1922). Subdivided into 100 céntimos. Banknotes: S/10, S/20, S/50, S/100, S/200 (the current 'Familia de Billetes' series features Peruvian historical figures and Amazon biodiversity); coins: 10 céntimos, 20 céntimos, 50 céntimos, S/1, S/2, S/5. Peru is one of the most monetarily stable countries in Latin America — the Sol has been one of the strongest-performing currencies in the region over the past two decades. The BCRP was the first inflation-targeting central bank in Latin America (started 2002) and currently targets 2% CPI ± 1%. Peru is the world's #2 copper producer (after Chile), the world's #1 silver producer, and one of the world's largest exporters of zinc, tin, fishmeal, asparagus, and avocados. Tourism contributes ~5% of GDP (Machu Picchu, Inca Trail, Lima gastronomy).
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).
