Yeah currency will have a whole unit. Common purchases may or may not fall within the range where that unit is the order of magnitude to think of, much in the same way the meter may or may not be the order of magnitude you think of, but it is the 1 marker. Cents are portions of the dollar, yen are whole 1s, even though they’re more or less comparable. Euro-American currencies tend to be subdivided into hundreds, and if needed fractions from there such as the halfpenny.
that’s their point, my dude. 1000 yen is roughly like 10 dollars us (ignoring conversion rates), 1 yen is roughly 1 penny. but here they’re uselessly comparing 1 yen to 1 dollar. the sig figs are all over the place here mixing and matching different scales so it’s misleading. and no it’s not hyperinflation like you said elsewhere lmao some places just start at the ‘penny’ level and opt to not fuck with fractions of the smallest unit.
The US does not use the penny as their currency, they use the dollar. A penny is a fraction of a dollar.
