¥1 coins – what is everyone doing with them?

Yeah, I realize this is a dumb question, but I’ve been storing mine in these little cases that can hold 50 of them. Is there a way to cash them in or use them or something?

I’ve got like, ¥400 hoarded over the past few months. Any useful advice would be appreciated.

ETA: I know how to use coins – if I was that dumb I wouldn’t have gotten into university – but I tend to accumulate them rather than faff around at the till giving exact change.

It’s an anxiety I’ve had for decades; I don’t want to cause a queue or inconvenience other people by looking for coins, it was bad enough in the UK but I’m extra conscious about not being a bothersome foreigner.

ETA2: So it’s pretty obvious that most of you think I’m a complete fucking moron for asking a simple question about getting rid of small denominations en masse.

I dread to think what other small questions I may have that would draw such vicious ire, so I’m out.

Thank you to everyone who gave me an ACTUAL answer instead of treating me like something they found on the bottom of their shoe.

Thanks x
