It was under 80 for a while even.
But did I exchange my savings over to dollars then? Nooooo.
Good for you guys importing though.

A lot of people have been shorting the yen recently, which has contributed to a weakening of the currency.

Three years worth of savings transferred back to the U.S. when it was $1 to 118 yen. I feel your pain.

Yeah, I've been waiting ages (at least the past 2 years?) to actually buy some stuff myself!
