Belizean Dollar to Japanese Yen

The Belize dollar (sign Bz$, code BZD) is the currency of the country located in Central America – Belize. Previously, the country was named British Honduras. Every Belize dollar can be subdivided into 100 cents.

The currency has been introduced in 1885. However, the design of the notes has gone through several changes. As for now, majority of circulation is money of a format of 2003. Old banknotes are slowly going out of use. Despite the name change, you can still feel the spirit of the British Empire in the country. Thus, modern $ notes have a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Japanese yen (international symbol: ¥, code: JPY, number 392) is the national currency of Japan and is in issuance continuously since 1871. The yen is on the list of world reserve currencies and used in the IMF system. Yen derives from the Japanese word “en”, meaning "round" it is also close to the Chinese "yuan".

One yen is subdivided into 100 “sen”. However, coins in denominations of less than one yen became invalid in the middle of the 20th century. Today “sen” can only be used in the format of mathematical calculations. The banknotes depict the intellectual elite of Japan, and not political figures.
