The Yen: How Low Can It Go?

100 yen - in Japan enough to get you a bottle of mineral water, a ball-psystem.scripts.oint pen, even a burger at McDonald's. It's also the next big target traders are pegging for the yen's slide against the dollar, from its historical peak of 75.31 hit in October 2011.
