Hi all, sorry for the random currency related post. I'm moving to Japan for a year at the start of 2026, and last time I went to Japan in 2018 the yen was worth much more. I believe it was 1 YEN to 0.012 AUD, or 100 YEN = 1.2 AUD.
This was bad for me, but looking at it now, it's much better; 1 YEN = 0.0103 (100¥ = 1.03).
My question is, should I exchange some AUD into YEN now while it's good (almost a year before I leave)? Or am I worth waiting a bit, as in, how's Japan's economy going, will the price bounce back soon? It seems like it's hasn't dropped much further below what it's at now in a long long time.
Again sorry, I know this isn't a typical post for this subreddit. Thanks friends c:
