JPY not having any minor units is arguably not a “third party quirk” but just how the currency works. The same goes for various three decimal digit currencies.

I mean yeah, but it does make things more complicated. Currencies change to 0-decimal, but some systems still expect 2-decimal representation for backcompat reasons (like ISK and UGX in Stripe).
