Japanese Yen to Iraqi Dinar

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 Iraqi dinar (sign د.ع, code IQD) is the main currency of Iraq. Small coins called fils are formally used for change for the Iraqi dinar.

Every IQD has 1000 fils. However, since 1990, fils has not been used due to inflation. The currency has been issued since 1932. Before having its own currency, Iraq used the Indian rupee. Since their appearance, notes and coins have gone through several significant changes. Only one detail remained the same: all writing is duplicated in English and Arabic.
