Explanation
This is a loanword referring to the Japanese yen. It follows the number in an amount, as in 100 เยน (“100 yen”). The fuller expression เงินเยน is also commonly used when explicitly identifying the currency. Because เยน is a unit of currency, it combines directly with a number and does not require a separate classifier.
Usage
It is used when discussing prices and travel budgets in Japan, as well as currency exchange, exchange rates, and other transactions involving Japanese yen.
Caution
Do not confuse เยน (“yen”) with เย็น, which can mean “cool,” “cold,” or “evening.” They differ in spelling and meaning.
