About Japanese Yen
The yen is the official currency of Japan. It is the third-most traded currency in the foreign exchange market, after the United States dollar and the euro. It is also widely used as a third reserve currency after the US dollar and the euro.
The New Currency Act of 1871 introduced Japan's modern currency system, with the yen defined as 1.5 g of gold, or 24.26 g of silver, and divided decimally into 100 sen or 1,000 rin. The yen replaced the previous Tokugawa coinage as well as the various hansatsu paper currencies issued by feudal han. The Bank of Japan was founded in 1882 and given a monopoly on controlling the money supply.
Following World War II, the yen lost much of its pre-war value as Japan faced a debt crisis and hyperinflation. Under the Bretton Woods system, the yen was pegged to the US dollar alongside other major currencies. After this system was abandoned in 1971 with the Nixon Shock, the short-lived Smithsonian Agreement temporarily reinstated a fixed exchange rate. However, since the end of that system in February 1973, the yen has been a floating currency. WikipediaAbout Netherlands Antillean Guilder
The Netherlands Antillean guilder was the currency of the Netherlands Antilles, and later of Curaçao and Sint Maarten, which until 2010 formed the Netherlands Antilles along with Bonaire, Saba, and Sint Eustatius. It was subdivided into 100 cents. The guilder was replaced on 1 January 2011 on the islands of Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius by the United States dollar.
In Curaçao and Sint Maarten, a new currency, the Caribbean guilder, was proposed in November 2020. Originally planned for implementation in the first half of 2021, It had been stalled repeatedly by negotiations over the establishment of a separate central bank for Curaçao. The new guilder was eventually launched on 31 March 2025. The Netherlands Antillean guilders remained legal tender until 30 June 2025, then the currency was officially withdrawn. Wikipedia
