Optimal currency for cash passport in Taiwan - Photo of a Brown Passport Beside a Wallet with Dollar Bills

I'll be going to Taiwan, and using a MasterCard Pre-paid currency card ("Cash Passport(tm)"). I currently have a wallet of Japanese Yen, but no other currency.

They don't offer a wallet for New Taiwan Dollars. Will I benefit by changing money from the Japanese Yen wallet into the wallet of another currency (such as American Dollars), and using the card in Taiwan against that currency?
