I've only played 0 and Kiwami, but might just look up the "movies" for 2-5 on YouTube before getting into 6. I don't have a PS3 or PS2, so there's no way I can continue in series order unless I wait until Kiwami 2 comes out.
I've heard 6 jumps far ahead enough in time after 5 you won't be lost playing it, though you'd get more out of it if you know Kiryu's story. It just depends how I feel once it arrives, really.
I didn't get a chance to play the 6 demo before SEGA had to pull it from our region when people continued past the 6-hour mark or whatever the demo was supposed to stop at, but I'm a fan of the series already from the two titles that have come here recently.
As far as the money goes, are you thinking of it in terms of one yen = $1 USD? Cause one yen is actually closer to one American cent if I'm not mistaken. They make a big deal out of how great the economy is in Yakuza 0's 1988 setting and I thought, "who the hell would wave $10,000 at an effing cab?!" Turns out 10G in yen is roughly $100 USD, which is still absurd for a cab but not nearly as much as I thought.
I looked it up online, and while it's not completely accuracte, a good rule of thumb is to convert yen to USD by moving the decimal left two places.
