Nigerian Naira to Japanese Yen

The Nigerian naira (sign ₦, code NGN) is the national currency of Nigeria, a state located in Africa. The currency does not circulate in other countries. The Nigerian naira can be subdivided into kobo.

Every NGN has 100 kobo. The currency has first been issued in 1973, replacing the Nigerian pound. In 2014, the Treasury of Nigeria issued a series of commemorative banknotes worth 100 naira. The notes have a new design, an additional level of protection, and a code that refers you to a site with the history of the country.

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.
