Japanese Yen
The Japanese Yen (JPY) is the official currency of Japan and the third most traded currency globally, typically quoted in ranges of 100–150 JPY per USD. Established by the New Currency Act of 1871, the yen is notable for its very low nominal value per unit — a direct consequence of Japan's post-WWII monetary reconstruction, which did not redenominate the currency after wartime inflation. The Bank of Japan has maintained ultra-low interest rates for extended periods, historically making the yen a popular low-cost borrowing currency for carry trades.
British Pound Sterling
The British Pound Sterling (GBP) is the world's oldest currency still in use, with origins in Anglo-Saxon England where 240 silver pennies (sterlings) weighed one pound. The pound was decimalised in 1971, divided into 100 pence. Monetary policy is managed by the Bank of England, founded in 1694. The GBP is the fourth most traded currency in global foreign exchange markets and remains the third largest reserve currency despite the UK's departure from the European Union in 2020.
