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.
