Dollar Spikes To Highest Level Against Yen Since 2008
The Scottish vote for independence is sending shockwaves through the currency markets. And not just the British pound, because the Japanese yen just fell out of bed.
The yen has fallen to 109 against the US dollar, its lowest level since September 2008.
