Little leather wallet for just coins. Should have a button to stay closed. I was gifted one of these years ago and never realized how much I hated jangly coins. I love it. Of course in these cashless days maybe this is a dinosaur gift.

I just pawn all mine off on my poor wife since she has one of those coin purses. I always keep a 500 though, Japan still has lots of odd situations where you must have a coin.

The 新500円 however has failed me many times. By the time all the buses and whatnot accept them they'll probably come up with yet another version.

Modernization proceeds at its steady slow trickle, at least. My tier-3 city's bus system finally started allowing you to pay with a QR code so I no longer have dig through couch cushions for 100s. Maybe we'll be able to do away with coins altogether by 2100 lol.
