	5 yen coin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 5 yen coin is one denomination of Japanese yen.
		Five-yen coins date to 1870 (when, due to the much higher value of the yen, they were minted in gold).
		The front of the coin depicts a rice plant growing out of the water, with "five yen" written in kanji; the back is stamped with "Japan" and the year of issue, also in kanji, separated by sprouts of a tree.

	COIN
		Coins are usually used for lower-valued units, and banknotes are usually used for the higher values; also, in most money systems, the highest value coin is worth less than the lowest-value note.
		Some coins have coin orientation, where the coin must be flipped vertically to see the other side; other coins, such as British coins, have medallic orientation, where the coin must be flipped horizontally to see the other side.
		Coins are popularly used as a sort of two-sided die; in order to choose between two options with a random possibility, one choice will be labeled "heads" and the other "tails," and a coin will be flipped or "tossed" to see whether the heads or tails side comes up on top.

		Coins that have been cleaned repeatedly this way are worth much less than coins that possess the original mint surfaces.

	Getting To Grips With The Euro - Accessibility.com.au
		Campaigners had wanted a multi-edged coin like Britain's 20 pence piece but this was fiercely opposed by Europe's vending machine industry and the idea of a coin with a hole, like Japan's five yen coin, was vetoed on the grounds of cost.
		The coins can be divided into three similar groups within which markings along the circumference edge -- such as a groove, alternate smooth and serrated milling, lettering or stars -- aid recognition by a process of elimination.
		For example, the one, two and five cent coins -- or centimes as they are known in France -- are copper-coloured and increase in size.

		Instead of simply throwing the coins back into my coin jar, I thought it would be fun to send them out to other bloggers so that they could make a wish to the God of Wealth.
		Then whoever has the coin at the end of this year, can send it back to me and I will take it to the shrine again and this time give it to the God of Wealth so that everyone’s request can be heard.
		I assume some of the people who receive the coins will be posting on their blogs to give it away, so if you really want one, you can keep an eye on where the coins are and try and get it from one of them.

		A yen is sometimes indicated with the mark ¥.
		The one yen piece, the first coin pictured, is actually a small aluminum piece, about three-quarters of an inch.

		The directions to Taisei coins failed to indicate that the words "Nishino Kinryo" – the name of the building I was looking for – would appear in kanji characters – I hadn’t anticipated that, nor the absence of a sign with a coin on it.

		It is customary to toss a five-yen, or “go-yen”, coin into a donation box before making a wish for the upcoming year.
		The Japanese go-yen coin is unique in that it has a hole in the center.

		The Japanese have a 500 Yen coin that I found conveinient when I was there (much like the mentioned Swiss Franc)- it is worth about $5.00.
		The change indicator above indicates equal or fewer coins in your pocket with the $5 coin, and when they are equal in number, you have fewer large coins, maximizing pocket space.
