  • The mon was a currency of Japan from the Muromachi period in 1336, until 1870. The Chinese character for mon is 文 and the character for currency was widely used in the Chinese-character cultural sphere, eg. Chinese wen and Korean mun. Coins denominated in mon were cast in copper or iron and circulated alongside silver and gold ingots denominated in shu, bu and ryō, with 16 shu = 4 bu = 1 ryo. The yen replaced these denominations in 1870. However, its usage continued at least into 1871, as the first Japanese stamps, issued in that year, were denominated in mon.
  • Le mon était une monnaie japonaise jusqu'en 1870. Il ressemblait et fut dérivé d'un wen chinois. Les pièces dites mon étaient en cuivre ou en fer, de forme circulaire avec un trou carré au centre, et circulaient en même temps que des lingots d'or ou d'argent, appelés shu, bu et ryō, dont le rapport est 16 shu = 4 bu = 1 ryo. Le yen remplaça ces dénomination en 1870. Toutefois, son utilisation perdura jusqu'en 1871, lorsque les premiers timbres poste japonais, sortis cette année-là, furent édités en mon.
  • Mon-ul a fost o monedă japoneză înainte de 1870. Semăna şi era derivată din moneda chinezească "wen" (în Coreea se numea "mun"). Monedele erau de cupru sau fier, şi circulau în paralel cu ingoţi de aur sau argint care erau denominate shu, bu, ryo (16 shu= 4 bu= 1 ryo). Monedele mon erau găurite. De-a lungul istoriei japoneze au existat tot felul de monede şi valute, de diferite mărimi, forme, materiale, incluzând aurul, argintul, cuprul etc. Până şi orezul a fost odată o valută, anume unitatea sa de măsură koku.
