Why is Japanese currency so useless? It seems like thousands of yen is only pocket change in real economic value.

Their currrency is counted as pennies.
100 yen = 1 dollar. 1 yen = 1 penny. There is no 0.001 Yen.there actually is but they're not used in everyday life other than stock market prices
Also in terms of conversion. 1.00 US$ = 110 Yen at the moment.
It's to scare foreigners into thinking everything is expensive and shit
You just take away the decimal for the most part.

It's an export currency, because Japan exports so much goods they trade with a lot of foreign currencies. Having a more "worthless" currency means they get more value from the exchange rates.
OP is an ultra brainlet kek
or this is bait

He wasn't talking about actual exchange rates. He was talk comparatively, you fucking moron.

With the actual exchange rate, it should make some degree of sense to OP.
7500 Yen could be thought of as roughly 75.00 USD. It's usually a little less.
