Thanks , I bet a lot of those get lost, light as a feather<img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=989325"/>The 1-yen coin is made of aluminum, with a tree design. Our one-cent coin was once made of aluminum, but you've probably never seen one. Although a million and a half were made in 1973 (dated 1974), they were recalled and melted because they didn't work well in vending machines. http://www.usmint.gov/kids/cartoons/coinsOftheWorld/html/japan/index.cfm?s=4
