I am not 100% sure about this, as I can't read Chinese, but this is likely not 19 Japanese Yen.

> ¥ is a currency sign used by the Chinese yuan (CNY) and the Japanese yen (JPY) currencies. This monetary symbol resembles a Latin letter Y with a double stroke.

It is much more likely that it is 19 Yuan, which is ~$3.



Heh, I guess I shouldn't have believed the unbelievable price after all.

Still, $3 for a chip that does 'everything' isn't bad. From what I've seen everyone else wants 3x-10x more than that for chips (or, admittedly, sometimes modules) that do less.


Japanese yen would not have the decimal, so you are correct. Japanese currency does not have fractions of ¥1. It would be listed as ¥19 or 19円.

It also wouldn't make much sense to list a Japanese price on a Chinese website.
