What is the meaning of the 'E' after the price in Japan?

What does the E stand for after the price on Japanese items? "¥905E". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:6EFC:B8D0:5433:691:B73F:AA35 (talk) 17:26, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

The description of the rise and fall of the value of the yen appears to be backwards

The wording used under the subheading "Japanese government intervention in the currency market" appears to be backwards. If something increases in value, then it would be a lower number in exchange for one U.S. dollar. If it decreases in value, then it would be a higher number in exchange for one U.S. dollar. The wording in this section appears to describe things backwards. It claims that the yen rose in value when it really means that the exchange rate increased, which is the exact opposite. Can someone read through that section and fix it? --Nicholas0 (talk) 01:51, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
