The graphs contain no legend of what exactly is plotted on the vertical axis. Due to the current exchange rates, the average reader will probably assume that it's the value of a $ measured in ¥ but that seems to conflict with the text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.67.227.181 ( talk) 10:11, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
According to the infobox, the name of the currency is 日本円 but the lead sentence says yen ( Japanese: 円, symbol: ¥; code: JPY; also abbreviated as JP¥)
So which is correct?

A few points:
¥100
and 100 円
is clearly as significant as that between £100
and 100 pounds
(say, deliberately avoiding the dollar/peso/etc trapdoor). I for one now accept that 円 is not a currency symbol. (and that my point 4 is wrong).--

Just to explain my broken edit summary... An isolated one-day Forex rate is not significant so, per policy WP: Wikipedia is not a newspaper, we do not report it. Prediction of BoJ intervention fails WP: Wikipedia is not a crystal ball so is also not permitted. However, if (and only if) the BoJ actually does intervene, then at that point we can report an actual intervention. But not before. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 ( talk) 08:27, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Major assertions need major sources, economic commentators of the highest standard. Your supporting citation is an example (examples are not a valid citations, per WP:NOR) of a minor source reporting that the principle of 100¥ shops doesn't work any more. Well try finding a 100 cent shop in the US or EU any more, even a 100p (" pound shop") in the UK. Is an air guitar festival a "major event"? We've had domestic inflation, now you are seeing imported inflation. I realise that most Japanese people have no experience of inflation and the consequent de facto loss of value of their savings.

There is a silly edit war going on over how to write dates. This has been seen many times in many articles and there is a Wikipedia policy for it: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Retaining the existing format. It says to use the style that has been the established practice for in the article for many years. So going back ten years to https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Japanese_yen&oldid=590372945, we find
Fixed value of the yen to the US dollar
The yen lost most of its value during and after World War II. After a period of instability, on 25 April 1949 the U.S. occupation government fixed the value of the yen at ¥360 per US$1 through a United States plan, which was part of the Bretton Woods System, to stabilize prices in the Japanese economy.
so the established style is ddmmmmmmmyyyy.
The only exception to that rule is Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Strong national ties to a topic which says
Articles on topics with strong ties to a particular English-speaking country should generally use the date format most commonly used in that nation. For the United States this is (for example) July 4, 1976; for most other English-speaking countries it is 4 July 1976.
Japan is not an English-speaking country, so the exception does not apply.
If there is any doubt about the relevance of this policy, please ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse for clarfication.
The edit war ends now. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 ( talk) 21:33, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
