Smart Tips for Exchanging Japanese Yen
Compare exchange rates before selling JPY
Always check rates from multiple exchangers or banks to find the best JPY to AUD (or other currency) rate. Even a small difference can make a noticeable impact, especially with larger amounts.
Avoid airport and hotel exchange desks
These locations usually offer weaker JPY rates and higher margins. Planning ahead helps you avoid losing value at last-minute counters.
Choose providers with no hidden fees
Look for clear, upfront pricing. A good JPY rate isn’t helpful if service charges or commissions reduce what you actually receive.
Sell during favorable market movements
JPY exchange rates can fluctuate due to market and regional factors. If you’re not in a hurry, keep an eye on trends and exchange when conditions are more favorable.
Use trusted, well-reviewed money exchangers
Stick to licensed and reputable providers. Strong reviews and a solid track record help ensure accurate counting, fair rates, and a safe transaction.
Limits & Restrictions
Minimum Amounts
There is no minimum amount when selling Japanese Yen (JPY). Whether you have a few notes or a larger sum, we’re happy to exchange it.
Maximum Amounts
We can handle large JPY transactions. For higher-value exchanges, we may request valid ID, conduct a brief source-of-funds check, or ask for a short wait while your payout is prepared. This is standard practice for licensed and regulated money exchangers in Australia.
Selling JPY Worth $10,000 AUD or More
If your JPY exchange is $10,000 AUD equivalent or above, please bring valid identification and allow extra time for compliance checks.
To ensure smooth processing:
-
Call ahead to confirm cash availability
-
For larger payouts, bank transfer or PayID is often the fastest and safest option
Where to Sell Japanese Yen in Australia
Selling Japanese Yen (JPY) in Australia is quick, safe, and straightforward with Danesh Exchange. Follow these simple steps to get the best value for your currency.
If you’re wondering where to sell JPY in Australia, you generally have three main options:
Banks
Some banks may accept Japanese Yen, but they are rarely the most cost-effective option. Buy-back rates are often low, processing can be slow, and additional service or handling fees may apply. While banks feel familiar, they usually do not offer competitive JPY-to-AUD rates, especially for cash exchanges.
Specialist Currency Exchange Providers
Specialist exchangers like Danesh Exchange are often the best choice for selling JPY. They offer:
- Competitive JPY exchange rates
- No hidden fees
- Fast, friendly service
- Reliable availability for both small and large amounts
Whether you’re selling a small bundle of notes or a higher-value amount, Danesh Exchange makes it simple to sell JPY in Australia at a fair price.
Airport Kiosks
Airport exchange counters may accept foreign currency, but JPY is often excluded or exchanged at extremely poor rates. Even when accepted, airport kiosks typically apply very high margins, meaning you receive far less AUD than you would at a specialist exchanger. While convenient, airports are not recommended for selling Japanese Yen.
What Japanese Yen Notes We Accept
The Japanese Yen (JPY) is the official currency of Japan and is used for all everyday transactions across the country.
While JPY is primarily used in Japan, it is commonly exchanged by travellers, expatriates, and businesses dealing internationally. Outside Japan, JPY is typically exchanged through specialist currency exchangers rather than banks.
Locally, the currency is simply referred to as the “yen” or “JPY”. Cash remains the dominant payment method in many areas.
JPY Banknote Denominations
Japanese Yen banknotes currently in circulation include: 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000 JPY
These are the standard notes used in circulation. Keeping your JPY notes sorted by denomination helps ensure faster counting and smoother transactions, especially when exchanging larger amounts or visiting busy exchange counters.
Old and damaged banknotes
We only accept Japanese Yen banknotes that are currently in circulation. Notes that are too old, heavily damaged, or discontinued may not be accepted. Our team will assess them on the spot and guide you on the best next steps.
