I was at the store buying some things and pulled out some change. As I was handing out the changed I noticed one of my 10 yen coins was not like another. (My Sock’s eyes are 10 yen coins.)\u00a0 I looked at it and it said 50 SEN on it. I wondered where I got it.<\/p>\n

For those who are ignorant, V and B, the sen was 100 to 1 yen. In the old days the yen was paper and the sen was a coin. Now the yen are coins up to 500 and paper after a 1000. There are no sen coins in circulation now. So I have a half a yen coin which would make it less than a penny.<\/p>\n

I looked it up online and my coin is traded for 100 yen by collectors.<\/p>\n

The coin is interesting because the Japanese goes from right to left. After the war the writing went from left to right like English.\u00a050 sen is written \u92ad\u5341\u4e94\u3000instead of the modern \u4e94\u5341\u92ad.<\/p>\n

Japanese Lesson \u92ad\u6e6f– Sentou is the name for the public baths. It comes from the word sen and hot water. Maybe at one time the bath was that price.<\/p>\n
