1. Don’t try this at home, folks…

2. For some reason the YT algorithm also recommended this to me 3 days ago. I used to see content on Reddit first, but nowadays it’s YT before reddit

3. I believe it’s still is the highest valued coin in common circulation in the world

4. I suppose replacing the center with a cheaper metal is a more honest way to devalue the coin versus coating or alloying. It’s all fiat money anyway.

5. Now if only all the vending machines accepted them.

6. Is the process that makes the 500 yen coins that are rejected by vending machine and parking lot kiosks that accept the other 500 yen coins?

7. Nice
