The yen is very cheap historically and I want to buy it, but where can I buy yen ?
Please let me know if you are familiar with banks with low commissions, online, FX, etc.

Los Angeles ・ There was a money changer by the Biltmore Hotel downtown.

I once had $5000 exchanged for yen and took it with me.

I have exchanged money several times at Bretton Woods in Brentwood. ( In my case, it was in the opposite direction when the yen was strong )
A couple of years ago, they charged me 3 yen for both going there and returning.
I used this place because they used to run a small ad every day on the bottom of the front page of the Rafu Shimpo for decades.
I don't know if they still advertise there.

If it's about $100,000, it seems impossible to get it at a money changer, so go to a bank.

You can profit from something this simple, so of course you'll do it if you tell them in advance

I don't make a profit just by exchanging money. I need to write down how to make a profit.

you said yourself you would rather go to a bank than a money changer
money changers, banks are volunteers ? I guess you thought money changers at airports and such didn't charge fees ? you are a peaceful old man

Currency Exchanger

Thanks for the new information, a couple of years ago.
3 yen commission per hundred dollars ?
Thanks for pasting the site.
I will look into it.

Mr. Bokeh

I'd like to go for about $50,000.
I have a lot of cash positions right now.

♯ 1 I'm looking for a money changer because of the weak yen

I have about $100,000 to spend ?

Grandpa, $100,000 is a lot of money and the exchange offices are not prepared for that, so I'm going to the bank

I'm a money changer and they're in business, so I have about $100,000 to spend
( So much for the money exchange )

From there the old man # 8

The old man, just exchanging money doesn't generate profit.
I need to write down how to make a profit.

I am not a volunteer at the exchange, so I do make a profit


And from talking about the exchange, # I start to write something ridiculous like 1 profit
from # 10

don't change the subject on your own ~
this is becoming a common conversation in dementia that only he can understand
incoherent

#11Shogo
The commission is against the exchange rate. 1 dollar = at 100 yen
is calculated as 103 yen
with 3 yen commission when buying dollars and 97 yen when the opposite is true.
In terms of exchange only
this 3 yen commission is roughly the same at Japanese bank exchange centers, Japan Post Bank, etc.
My experience when buying dollars is that it is more advantageous to have them sent by wire from bank to bank than 3 yen.
( In my case, Mitsubishi UFJ → UNION BANK)

On a side note,
If you are talking about money exchange, you can make money if there is more than 6 yen difference in exchange rate.

You don't know what's off the mark until I ask you, because you're incompetent.
You can't think, no wonder you can't do your job.
