[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 481708, member: 12789"]I have seen them in my old Krause catalog, but I have never actually come across one and seen it other than on the internet. There were porcelain tokens made in Germany during the hyperinflation of 1922-23 but they for the most part never circulated and were more like donation receipts for charity. I think the porcelain would be a bit more durable for circulation than a plain fired clay coin. I think it is kind of interesting that these 1 sen coins were made at all, since one would think inflation would have rendered that denomination valueless - but apparently hadn't until the war ended and the yen went into a tailspin down to 360:$1.[/QUOTE]
