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).

About Bolivian Boliviano (Bs.)

The Bolivian Boliviano (BOB, ISO 4217 code 068, symbol Bs.) is the official currency of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, issued by the Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB, est. 1928). Subdivided into 100 centavos. Banknotes: Bs.10, Bs.20, Bs.50, Bs.100, Bs.200 (the highest denomination; current 'Familia de Billetes' series introduced 2018 features Bolivian historical figures and natural landmarks — Genoveva Ríos, Eduardo Avaroa, Adela Zamudio, Bartolina Sisa, Túpac Katari, Salar de Uyuni — the world's largest salt flat, the Madidi National Park, Lake Titicaca, the Royal Cordillera mountains); coins: 10 centavos, 20 centavos, 50 centavos, Bs.1, Bs.2, Bs.5. Bolivia replaced the previous boliviano (BOB ISO code 068) on January 1, 1987 at a rate of 1 new boliviano = 1,000,000 old pesos bolivianos (BOP) — ending a hyperinflation crisis that had reached 24,000% in 1985 (the worst non-wartime hyperinflation outside of Zimbabwe and Weimar Germany). Bolivia is home to the world's largest lithium reserves (~21 million tonnes per USGS, in the Salar de Uyuni and Salar de Coipasa), though commercial extraction remains limited. The BCB targets stable exchange rates (informally pegged to USD around Bs.6.91 per USD).
