I just thought of something - do people actually use yen in Gensokyo?
I think they actually use a more archaic method of money in Gensokyo. But from what i've seen in cannon, it's usually yen. Maybe it's ust Zun's way of not totally confusing the audience, and wanting the keep things simple.

Basically what D said. For audience convenience it's yen, but I'd be willing to bet that Gensokyo actually uses something simpler and more ancient, like precious metal coins.
I think the song, "For The Love of Money", by the O-Jays is the most appropriate theme song for Reimu, for this picture.
Going with "Whales" from Hail Mary Mallon
[Reimu] Money on my mothafuckin' mind Bomb five youkai at the same time White gold frills, gohei made of wine Foie gras bust of Albert Einstein Get Money
[Sanae] Money out my mothafuckin' mouth A mansion, a mecha, a camp and a town A motherfucking shrine with a floor made of scalps Kana from the block don't got rocks, she got Alps Get Money
