Exchange rate in 1929-1945?

Question

I am wondering if anybody knows the exchange rate of the Yen-to-USD. I've searched but have had no luck.

Answer 1

You can find the rates by following the link below. No rates for the latter years, for obvious reasons

The table presents for each year the price of the U.S. Dollar in the currency of Japan.
The currency of Japan is Yen Y.
