sorry - I didn't scan the coins in straight... I will rescan sometime

Someone once told me the ichi en coin is the only coin in the world that can float on water.  If you have one, try it! If not you now have a cultural purpose for visiting Japan.

This bronzed colored coin has a hole in the middle for no apparent reason. The plant seen on the coin is rice.

One side has a picture of a temple in Kyoto called Byodouin.  The other side has a big 10 surrounded by a plant which no one I asked could identify. sorry, ne.

This is the second coin to have a hole in the middle for no apparent reason. The flower on the back is Kiku (chrysanthemum).  The coin is silver in color.

One side has Sakura (cherry) blossoms.  The other side has a big "100" and the date.

The fanciest of the coins, the 500 yen coin is also the biggest of the 6 coins.
