    The day before we left Japan, I dragged my second daughter along to a coin shop near our hotel in Asakusa and bought 3 coins with our soon to be superfluous yen bills.
    I don't know how pricing compares to the US but in total it was a little over $20 US.

    Partly it's just fun to see how dealers in other countries organize their wares.
    I love the little stamps Japanese coin shops use for each Emperor's name.
