Hi, the 10 yen coin! Finally, it's your turn.

I think the 10 coins pretty low key in appearance. I don't like them very much. Here's the profile of the bronze coin.


Value:10 yen = approximately 5 cents + 5 cents.
Material: copper 95%, zinc 3-4%, tin 1-2%.
Weight: 4.5 g.
Size: 23.5 mm (d), 1.5 mm (t).

Trivia:

• The 10 yen coins minted in 1951 contain minute amounts of gold.
• The coins can kill mosquito larvae if you put them in the water.

That's all from today's topic. Join me next time.
