It cracked me up to see that 1 Japanese yen coin! It is the smallest denomination coin still in circulation here in Japan! I looked at the loose change I'm carrying in my pocket today and I have 8 of them that look identical to the one you showed in the video! They are aluminum and at today's exchange rate it takes 154 of those to make US $1.00! Great videos Brad! Keep up the amazing work!

And you didn't add that it's called a "Yenny" to any American living/lived in Japan, cmon dude! lol
@HowardRider-ed5pm2 ай бұрын
@@NeonCheddar That must be an Americanism, I guess. I'm American, but I have lived in Japan for 50 years and I never heard of a "yenny"! In Japanese it's an "ichi en dama." I don't think Japanese would think of "yenny" because they don't pronounce that first y, so it would just come out "enny" which just sounds like "any" which isn't any fun. I recently read that the Japanese govt. is considering phasing out the 1 yen coin and making the 5 yen coin the smallest coin. We shall see!

Being a fly fisherman, I can offer a little help. The area in front of a boulder or large rock is called a "Hydraulic cushion." Metal detecting in front of larger boulders shouldn't be ignored. Heavier objects do settle here. The current behind the rock is called an eddy; as you surmised, it's a low-pressure spot in the river. It will form, as you referred to, "coin holes." Not to mention shelter nice trout!

I've been to that swimming hole. It was ages and ages ago. And my brother lost his keys. We would pull up handfuls of stuff from the bottom and sift through it looking for coins.

In the early 70s when I was a kid, I would get the occasional buffalo nickel in change or from my paper route. I would also get a silver dime or quarter and I remember getting some 1943 steel pennies. Silver coins in change pretty much ended in late 1979 when the price of silver jumped up.

I am a Vermonter that lives on Lake Champlain. I have tried metal detecting but my detector is a wonky machine that I cannot figure out. I spend a lot of time collecting beach glass. Last year while knee deep in the lake I saw what I thought was a round glass bottle top. To my disbelief, I pulled out a gold wedding band. What are the chances? I can’t find a nail with my metal detector but my eyes found a small gold band in 3 feet of lake water.

I was yelling out “That’s a yen!” When you found it. Wouldn’t be surprised if the kid of a military family had a nice coin collection and played with it outside, maybe had a pocketful of coins and ran around the yard and lost that one. I ruined my dad’s coin collection by playing with it, and I think we used to carry loads of pennies in the backs of Matchbox trucks.
