<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 3475605, member: 15588&quot;]I have heard that the modern 1 Yen Japanese coins are one of the few coins that can float on water if placed gently. They are aluminum and, as said, weigh only 1 gram. The Japanese Mint does a great job on the proof minting of these to bring out the aluminum shine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Though I haven&#039;t visited Japan, I have heard somewhere, maybe on a video or a blog, that many people in Japan have little piles of 1 Yen coins that accumulate from pocket change and some have a ritual of cashing them in at banks when the pile gets large enough. I did the same with US cents back when I used more cash.</p><p><br /></p><p>This video will be coin heresy to some, but it&#039;s interesting:</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]kJlRnCed0bY[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
