Re: [Phono-L] Interesting Sharpener for Cactus / Thorn Needles
Not according to any currency converter online. I've tried 5 different ones and they all come out to over $4,800.00 for 30,000 yuan (yen). One US Dollar is approximately 6.25 yuan.

Re: [Phono-L] Interesting Sharpener for Cactus / Thorn Needles
Google yen to dollar - in the first converter that comes up, type 3 into the yen box, which = $323.45 USD (delete the number one in the yen box before putting in 3) Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 09:22:34 -0500 From: chris...@cox.net To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Interesting Sharpener for Cactus / Thorn Needles The yuan is Chinese, the yen is Japanese. The auction is from Japan. There are almost 94 yen to the dollar. Why are you insisting on yuan :-)? john robles john9...@pacbell.net wrote: Not according to any currency converter online.

Re: [Phono-L] Interesting Sharpener for Cactus / Thorn Needles
John, Since it's an offering from Japan it's offered in Yen, not Yuan. So $326 should be correct. There is also a language translator on the site. I think the guy indicates that he made it himself. Nice job--but I think it's overkill. --Art Heller In a message dated 2/18/2013 3:39:52 A.M. Mountain Standard Time, john9...@pacbell.net writes: Not according to any currency converter online.
