I'm putting the down payment on my home soon, and need a good yen rate!

Anyone tried the place near Kitamae? Always see lots of Y plates parked there.

Any other places for about $20,000 worth of yen?

All of the off base places will be pretty much the same.

The best thing to do is to find an individual that will give you a good rate for conversion. If you find someone with enough cash I'm sure they'd be willing to make an even exchange.

Anyone happen to know the going rate off base, and if they accept $50 or $100 bills?

Most will take $50's and $100's. I wish you had asked a few weeks ago, I would have put you in contact with someone. They used to give me 4-5 pts higher than the bank on my yen exchange. That would be nice right about now.

I'll gladly give you 2 million yen for $20k. I'll PM you my info, just mail me the cash. I'll count it, and then wire the yen to the bank account you provide in your response to my PM, k? :thumbup: Enlarge your penis today! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry)
