I'm just guessing that it's because it's not a stock or a bond. I don't ever hear what the market cap is for the yen, or any other currency.

  That's because they can always print more. There's no cap.

    "Cap" doesn't mean what you're thinking in this context :)

    That's not what a market cap means. There are cryptocurrencies too that have no limit on the number of produced coins. Market cap means market capitalization.
