We're experiencing the same when switching between GBP and JPY currencies:

Some workarounds that I know of to prevent this issue from occurring is to:

1. Disable the block cache (BLOCK_HTML)
2. Edit Magento\Framework\Pricing\Render\PriceBox and either:
   • set the DEFAULT_LIFETIME to 0, or
   • just force getCacheLifetime to return 0

I tried writing an extension to override this behaviour, to no avail (I might be doing something wrong LOL). But it still doesn't solve the root cause of the problem.

Fix is delivered to mainline. Closing the issue.

Hi @SerhiyShkolyarenko,

Noticed another issue when selecting product variants using the swatches.

1. GBP:
   
2. Select a product variant while in GBP:
   
3. Then, switch currency to JPY:
   
4. Upon selecting a product variant, the price reverts back to the GBP amount but with JPY currency symbol:

@eldonbite thank you for the notice.
It looks like a different issue. Could you please create a separate issue for it?

@SerhiyShkolyarenko, could you please reopen this until the fix is delivered into a release? Thanks in advance.

The issue is clearly reported for 2.1.x. It is only reasonable to expect this fix in a 2.1.x release before closing the issue.
