About Myanmar Kyat (K)
The Myanmar Kyat (MMK, ISO 4217 code 104, symbol K) is the official currency of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar (Burma), issued by the Central Bank of Myanmar (CBM, est. 1948). Subdivided into 100 pya (no longer in physical circulation). Banknotes: K50, K100, K200, K500, K1,000, K5,000, K10,000 (the highest denomination, introduced 2012; current series features Aung San — the founding father of modern Burma — portrait and the Bogyoke Aung San Park Lion statue, the Royal Palace of Mandalay, and other Myanmar landmarks); coins: K1, K5, K10, K50, K100 (rarely used in practice — modern Myanmar transactions are predominantly in banknotes due to long-term inflation effects on coin values). The kyat was introduced 1952 (replacing the Burmese rupee). Myanmar has experienced repeated military rule including the February 1, 2021 coup that ousted the elected NLD government of State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint. Following the coup, MMK has been highly volatile, with multiple parallel exchange rates and capital controls. The country is a major producer of rubies, sapphires, jade (the world's leading source of imperial jade), teak hardwood, and natural gas. International sanctions limit MMK convertibility.
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).
