<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tiki, post: 498947, member: 11911&quot;]When I was living in Japan a friend of mine gave me a similar framed set.&nbsp; Most of the coins were genuine, but of low value.&nbsp; The large silver chogin (I think that is what they are called) and gold kobans were vacuumetalized plastic and looked exactly like the one in your photo.&nbsp; Can you take the set out of the frame and touch the silver coin?&nbsp; Does it feel like metal?</p><p><br /></p><p>I took a silver 10 sen coin from the set and blessed it in a special spring at a money temple in Kamakura.&nbsp; Still have it! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
