Another interesting fact about Japanese currency is the one-yen coin. This coin is made of aluminum and is extremely light in weight.

The offering is commonly made using a five-yen coin. This is due to the cultural significance attached to this particular denomination.

It is worth noting that five-yen coins cannot be used in vending machines. Despite this, they are still widely accepted as a form of payment.

Cashiers in Japan will readily accept five-yen coins as payment for goods and services. This makes them a useful coin to have on hand when traveling in the country.
