Of course, no one was allowed to have “dollars.” I was last there in 1965 and the exchange rate was still 360 yen to the dollar. Merchant sailors had to come to the bars with coins as I recall.
On the other hand the Philippines required us to use dollars I think.

I was there 1951-1961. We lived in Sagamihara and Yokohama.
For various reasons, my mom and I made six trips from Seattle-Yokohama, Yokohama-Seattle on MSTS (the Army’s Navy.)
