Currency Symbols on Coins

Not sure about the Japanese yen symbol. But it may not have a high priority as the Kanji character for "yen" (the one on the right here) does not really take up more space.

Are you saying that "/-" is the somaliland shilling symbol ?
i always thought it meant "only" . An old British practice of writing "Rs.25/-" essentially means "Rupees 25 only" (though there must be a correct Latin term). The reason is to prevent adding any extra digits eg, on a cheque or on an invoice or bill. This is still the norm in India

Here you are.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shilling_sign 7/6 = seven shillings and six pence; 7/- = seven shillings exactly.

I think the symbol do mean “shilling" in "Pound/Shilling/Pence"-based systems.
By extended logic, Rs 100/2/6 means 100 rupees and 2 annas and 6 paise?
