Meer oor Euro
The euro is the official currency of 20 of the 27 member states of the European Union. This group of states is officially known as the euro area or, more commonly, the eurozone. The euro is divided into 100 euro cents.
The currency is also used officially by the institutions of the European Union, by four European microstates that are not EU members, the British Overseas Territory of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, as well as unilaterally by Montenegro and Kosovo. Outside Europe, a number of special territories of EU members also use the euro as their currency. Additionally, over 200 million people worldwide use currencies pegged to the euro.
The euro is the second-largest reserve currency as well as the second-most traded currency in the world after the United States dollar. As of December 2019, with more than €1.3 trillion in circulation, the euro has one of the highest combined values of banknotes and coins in circulation in the world.
The name euro was officially adopted on 16 December 1995 in Madrid. The euro was introduced to world financial markets as an accounting currency on 1 January 1999, replacing the former European Currency Unit at a ratio of 1:1. WikipediaMeer oor Japannese jen
Die jen is die geldeenheid van Japan. Dit is die derde mees verhandelde geldeenheid in die buitelandse valutamarkte ná die Amerikaanse dollar en die euro. Dit word ook algemeen gebruik as 'n reserwegeldeenheid na die dollar, euro en Britse pond. Die ISO 4217-kodes vir jen is JPY en 392. Die Latynse simbool is ¥ terwyl dit in Japannees ook met die kanji-simbool 円 aangedui word. Soos dikwels in Asië die gebruik is, word groot bedrae dikwels uitgedruk in veelvoude van 10 000, nes dit in Westerse lande in veelvoude van duisend uitgedruk word.
Die jen is in 1872 deur die Meiji-regering ingevoer as 'n geldstelsel soortgelyk aan dié in Europa. Dit het die ingewikkelde monetêre stelsel van die Edo-tydperk, gegrond op die mon, vervang. Die Nuwe Geldeenheid-wet van 1871 het die aanvaarding van die desimale stelsel van jen, sen, en rin tot gevolg gehad met ronde munte wat in die Weste geslaan is. Die jen is wetlik gedefinieer as 0,78 troois-onse suiwer silwer, of 1,5 gram suiwer goud. Dieselfde hoeveelheid silwer is vandag ongeveer 1 181 moderne jen werd, terwyl dieselfde hoeveelheid goud ongeveer 3 572 jen werd is. Die wet het Japan ook na die goudstandaard laat oorskakel.
