yens
Aches of want
Yens is the plural of yen in both its senses.
A yen is a strong longing or craving: She had yens for adventure and exotic places.
The yen is also the basic monetary unit of Japan, so yens can refer to multiple units of that currency, though yen is more common as an unchanged plural in financial contexts.
