that's like 0.08$ and this is the current change of today. considering how japan was much less prosperous around 80', you can tell it is even lower.

no wonder why the call is so short. actually, it is rather weird how miyoko is able to call Takano for such time with only 10 yens.
It's 1983 in the show, and Takano is probably over 30 considering her education credentials and years of work on the syndrome before Irie even shows up. The professor was working on the syndrome during World War II and through the American occupation which is not long over when Takano first arrives.
