<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2778778, member: 4373&quot;]There is a reason why the mintage figures are so low - there&#039;s simply little demand for them! As such, some of the later year coins are almost hard to find in circulation. Put it this way, when I was in Japan in around 2010, I could still find nice red UNC 10 yen coin dated 1990!</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s also more cost effective to produce higher denomination coins. That said, there has been more 10 yen coins produced compared to 50 yen. I suppose more 10 yen coin is required for change, i.e. if you need to give out 40 or 90 yen in change. </p><p><br /></p><p>This article might be of interest:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.stippy.com/japan-life/fate-of-the-1-yen-coin/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.stippy.com/japan-life/fate-of-the-1-yen-coin/" rel="nofollow">https://www.stippy.com/japan-life/fate-of-the-1-yen-coin/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you ask me what my favorite coin is, it&#039;s the 5 yen coin in the old script format. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/924764.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
