10000 zeni - is that much?

Post by Fuujin » Sun May 29, 2005 11:01 am

I think there are people here that better remember when were zenis used, how much and for what, judging by these, what value one zeni approximately has, in comparison to dollars? For example, #18 seemed to think 20 million zeni is big money, worth losing to Satan at least, a random guy casually pays 10000 zeni just to see a fight between Buu and a martial artist, and so on. By analizing these and other amounts, could you give your suggestion?

The Zeni of DB seems to have roughly the same value as the Yen, so if you want to figure dollar amounts (not that it matters much), just try dropping two zeroes off the end of things.

Wasn't the exact (Yen) value of a Zeni given somewhere in the planets section (of Earth) in Daizenshuu 7?
