The issue of "junk" as known in my area is a little nuisance, but then to have a law to ban ...

Here have become very famous people who have gone to pay a huge fine cents with coins in protest.

Perhaps the law is meant to avoid those things

The law exists and has its reasons
The number of coins which can be used is 20, but for each coin, namely:
1 yen = 20 coins
5 = 20 yen coins
10 yen = 20 coins ....
If you make a purchase of 12,000 yen, you can pay 20 coins and 20 500 yen 100 yen.

Everyone knows that one yen coins to let them exist only in the temples. If you leave it is natural to end up with thousands. Think of the poor temples!

These posts are the ones I like.

By the way, if you have 1 yen coin is that you pay prices that are not module 5. So you should have use for them.

so if you return them to you instead, for whatever reason .....
you do you have them to eat?, or you have the same right not to accept the change that way?

If you leave all one yen coins in the temples where the monks gather to pay what they pay with that money (either to keep or eat them or anything! Because I'm not quite put into this ...) will have the same problem when it comes to pay it? or leave them if they use more than 20?
Just what I say is bullshit (which probably yes) but ... Nose is the first thing I thought when I read the comment PoKuTe

Well I have a question, I do not usually use CARDS purse and always carry a lot of coins in the bag, if not let me pay for example with 21 coins of 1 € (euros get me is more comfortable), the problem is that I'm not allowed to buy the product ....

Is that my brain can not see the problematic ... I think killing acavo 3000 neurons trying to explain on which such a law.

Thank you!

Hello! I go putting the coins of 1 and 2 cents on a boat and when I have many took the bank to change in plan 5 or 10 euros or something like that are a nuisance, do not change there? a greeting!

There are thousands of laws that remain rare for some particular case, imagine ke someone you dislike or want to make a joke, go to a store where you have to pay EUR 10000, go to the bank, "Hey, this currency cambieme a penny "get to the site in question and to pay with these coins in bags of 1 cent and have to count them, can be for example to pay a fine that you consider unfair, a way of taking the" revenge ", maybe step a case somewhere and someone suggested a while ...

To me it's the same with the coins of 1, 2 and 5 cents of Euro. What I do is go throwing it all in a boat, and every 6 or 7 months, take them to the bank, so I take my 60 or 70 € per trip.

Regards

If something happens to me gives me something .. now I have only coins in his pocket, the coins of one cent (in my case) I leave for the supermarket Saúdos and apertas

hello alain I wanted to ask you something that has nothing to do with the issue of coins:
In what language you think in Spanish or Japanese?
is because I have a friend who says he thinks Morocco Moroccan and Spanish in

arigatou dome having a blog as good

keep them in my house all these, there is a figure of Rana in the door with a truck that is supposed to call the good fortune, so in return we will leave all the change in the truck, but not to have all this change in a place always makes you remember to take good care of the money, also always some reason you come to need them.

Alain should be more careful with the spelling as there are several in your post

Hello Alain!

Let me show you the trick that we hacemnos Japanese currency not to accumulate small amount.

Often prices are not round numbers. We then use these small coins to give us back high-value coins. For example, if you buy something that costs only 512 yen and 1000 yen got a ticket and a 1 yen coin 10 yen and then give you back 1012 yen and 500 yen coin and so can reduce the coins of lesser value. But if you give 1000 yen, you back that are 4 488 and 100 yen coins, coin 50 yen, 10 yen coins 3 and 8 1 yen coins and thus accumulate more coins. I think it's a tactic that is made in Spain too.

One out!

if you have many 1 yen coins stored in an unselfish way to get rid of them is donating to the box of combinis or supa, that laws are enacted are stupid is another thing because if people follow it is logical that shall be imposed, make her case to the little Japanese I mention above that maneuver also made him change my coins of 1, 5 and 10 yen, a curiosity off topic, that bald guy who came of glasses for your wedding is gay?

Take the coins over the floor of the house, I heard that it brings luck. Greetings!

Nora: What reasons are those? Share them with us please, many of us still do not understand.
On the Web dwel Japanese government puts that are 20 coins in total, not each type.

Paco: Good question. Do not put anything that you can return them no more than 20 coins, hahah.

Antonio: I think generally in Spanish, but if I'm longer speaking English empizo to think in English and if I'm longer think Japanese speaking Japanese.

Yoshi: Yes, the tactic is to me, but if coins brought home the next morning when I pick up the coins, let me always that of a yen. After the checkout, if you bring some coins in his pocket, typically of 1 yen are the most difficult to remove.

Hideyoshi: Funny, I never had heard. You've heard it in Japan or Spain?

What most caught my attention so post two conjugations of verbs and just really weird xD you speak Japanese? xD I mean these two:

pipe instead of having
averigui found out instead of

A greeting!

To save and from time to time go to the bank to change them ....

Here in my country (Mexico), then are seasons when escacean coins that ... I just felt much bus fare rose to 5 pesos ... so that when you pay with coins of 5 or 10 does not get much change ...

What of the conjugations of verbs happens, I know someone who lives in France and now its not as fluid españos ...

zordor: Yes, however I have always been science

The other day I had no time to explain the system so forgive me. Many people know why I thought your wife or family what you could explain.

I do not know who will be translated or explained the government website but it says they are 20 in total nor explains what each type of coin, but who reads it understands it is for each type of coin, it says that can use the number of coins by multiplying the value by twenty.

About why: it is rather for the stores as konbinis or small businesses (it is written on the page) that do not have these machines to automatically count the coins in the banks. So, if everyone gets to pay all the coins you have, it takes much in the box and if no queue is fine, but if it's crowded and you're one of them and just have a box, not know if you like being there watching all the coins have all paid with all the coins you have when for example you only have one hour for lunch.
Some department stores have these machines so they get and counted immediately, but small businesses can not do that.

People who shop every day in supermarkets (like me) use great one yen coins, five and ten, and you appreciate it because stores are sometimes necessary, but it paid the entire purchase with a enormous amount of coins, I think it's something else.

I guess for all of you this system is stupid, but it seems to me well.
The things we do the Japanese, (almost) always have a reason (although some are stupid)

Greetings.

The coin says my grandmother, of course she has been lucky because once you play the lottery, but we only is a popular ...

Well go. Above you spend shame at having to leave the happy coins in the store .. Then they tell you not want to catch them not to count! What a bourgeois stupidity. Aki in the super thank you .... give them coins Siesque appearances .......... alain greetings!

Take them to the bank in packets of 10 or something like that

Hehehe, if you come to the store every 50 people and get paid with 20 coins each, end up understanding that it is a pain to the merchant, even money, everyone has a moment of boredom! Make box can be a nightmare.

The truth is that for once do not think anyone put stick to a payment of any kind, but in circumstances and when common sense is in short supply, we must make laws like this. I think it's a simple matter of sensitivity to the shopkeepers and customers to wait so undeserving because someone has broken the pig.

Greetings to all, it is true what he says Nora san. - The Japanese seem to have a way of doing things extraha for us foreigners, however everything is studied and is militricamente porque.Interesante.

How curious: here in Argentina (at least in Buenos Aires, where I live) who work in almost any store give you kisses when you pay with coins, because apparently no shortage.

Well as we all do, every time we got home, we put the coins in a piggy bank is full and when we go to the bank, the change in and out we go to eat some ice cream to conbini!

When we are in another country must also respect the laws and if you bother many coins will try to see the possibility to get rid of them by little and pay over time until the amount of coins allowed every day and stay well without them or with the minimum amount that is not a nuisance.

If qui respect the laws in the currencies and other things go better before a country is good to have more information about the country and not to pass laws problems
