Japan's currency unit (3)

I believe the answer is:

yen

(Other definitions for yen that I've seen before include "Intense desire for Japanese money" , "Have a longing for Japanese money?" , "Longing (colloq.)" , "change in East" , "money in Tokyo" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and the Sydney Morning Herald.
