Japanese Yen to Colombian Peso

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.

The Colombian peso (sign COL$, code COP) is the currency of Colombia, it is official only on the territory of the issuer country. Peso can be subdivided into centavos. One COP equals 100 centavos.

The currency has officially appeared in 1886, taking the place of the old Colombian real. Today, only those notes that were issued after 1995 are used in circulation. The notes have important Colombian figures represented on them. Among them, there is an artist Débora Arango, a poet José Silva, and one of the ex-presidents – Carlos Lleras Restrepo.
