<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EagleEye, post: 646382, member: 16990&quot;]In Japan the dollar is roughly equivalent to 100 yen. Their 1 cent equivalent is a 1 sen coin which is not made any more. 10 yen and 50 yen are the most common coins, but the 100, 500 yen are available and very useful. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If we didn&#039;t denominate in dollars with a cent fraction - just listed everything as cents, then $10.00 would be 1000 cents; $1.00 would be 100 cents - Very similar to Japan&#039;s Yen. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not saying we should use Japan as a model, just that they have much higher denomination coins (for use in Pachinko parlors, I guess) than we do and the low end coin have been phased out over time. Was there a problem with that? no, I don&#039;t think so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
