The coins are supposed to be 500 yen， but they are actually 500 won and people are “unaware” – people are suffering from this all over the place．．． they have been misused in the past as they are worth only 1 10 of their original value．

Good morning! [2024/10/21 11:55] You might want to check your wallet too. There have been a series of incidents in various places where fraudulently used 500 won coins have been mixed in instead of genuine 500 yen coins. ■The value is 1/10 of the diameter 26.5mm and the same weight… Posted by Kikunoyu x “If I was counting sales, I wouldn’t have noticed this! I’ll be more careful next time!” This was posted on social media by Kikunoyu, a 60-year-old public bathhouse in Katsushika Ward, Tokyo. A photo of the nine coins lined up was also posted. Yusaku Kashima, owner of Kikunoyu: “I was counting 500 yen coins and something struck me. I’d never seen anything like this before, so I wondered what it was. I didn’t know if it was money or something, so I was surprised.” If you look closely at the center of the bottom row of nine 500 yen coins… Kashima, the owner: “It had Korean-looking writing on it, so I was surprised and wondered if it was Korean money. There was a 500 yen coin I’d never seen before, or rather, 500 won in it.” Continued.
This is also a specialty of the Koreans. They match the size and weight of 500 yen coins perfectly. They were used excessively in vending machines in the past, causing a big problem. They are a criminal race that causes trouble for Japanese people.
When 500 yen coins first appeared, there was an incident where a vending machine mistook a slightly modified 500 won coin for a real 500 yen coin, leading to a gang of thieves coming to Japan from Korea and vandalizing vending machines all over the country.
I don’t think it’s on purpose. My Korean friends often make the mistake and hand it out at convenience stores. I’m telling them to just use electronic money, you idiot!
>>14 Is that Korean? If you’re living in Japan and carrying Korean currency, you’re obviously trying to deceive people from the start. You’re really not afraid to tell such obvious lies.
Even if vending machines take precautions, they’ll probably do it to people. If they mix it in with your coins when you’re busy, you won’t notice. If they do notice, they’ll just excuse it by saying it was a mistake and that’s the end of it.
A long time ago, I was a victim of a counterfeit 500 won coin. That said, when I was a kid, I would put a 1,000 yen bill in to buy juice and it would get mixed in with the change. I reported this to the store and they exchanged it for a 500 yen coin. Also, there were several modified 500 won coins in the vending machine. The store then reported the incident to the police and I don’t know what happened after that.
It’s common sense for stores that deal with foreign visitors on a daily basis to be careful with 500 yen coins. Some immoral people even mix them up on purpose as a bit of a joke to see if they can be mistaken for the real thing.
They used to cut it down and adjust the weight to use it in vending machines. It’s a government-sponsored crime to make it fit the size so it can be used in Japan.
>>63 You only need to drill about three places. The targets were simple change machines at arcades. Even if the store owners reported it to the police, they would have to work all day to file a damage report, so they mostly just put up with it and didn’t report it.
