Figure out what the costs are where you're at. Maybe think a little bit about how your country's politics and economy (and food ethics/diet) differ from your fictional ones', if at all. If you want to use Yen, Pounds, Euros, some fictional equivalent: whatever. But if you want to know what those translate to in dollars, just type in "yen conversion dollar" or whatever you want into Google and a calculator will come up.
If you want to be less fancy, Canadian, Australian, U.S. dollars and Euros are all roughly the same-ish, give or take 20-30%. Close enough that your audiences' emergence won't be broken and you can handwave the price difference as being about the economy or inflation or whatever. For Yen, just treat one yen as equal to one U.S. cent.
