	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.

	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.

		A yen is sometimes indicated with the mark ¥.

		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.

		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.
