        They still have the 1¥, they can speak up when they don’t have a coin for 0.65c. Like they do a lot right with money, I love how large of denominations are coins, going up to the equivalent of 3.25USD, but still the 1¥ coin…

          Tbf 1y coin is made out of aluminum, not copper. They float.

          We would call them yennies. Its probably time to get rid of them, but I’ll be sad.

          The 10000 yen note is obviously a yenjamin.

        Does their economy reflect value for lower denominations? Here in the west, a penny is practically useless. Costs are through the roof. If it still has a value, it is worth keeping around.

          I do think a penny is pretty useless. I will charge far more than two pennies for my two cents 🙃
