50 Japanese 5 Yen Coins Roll | Lucky Charm Go-En Omamori | Random Years Mixed Co

「In Japan, the 5 yen coin is considered a lucky charm (Go-En, meaning good fortune and connection). Japanese 5 yen coins are unique in their holes on them and in their composition. After WW2, Japan melted down military’s cartridges and made them into 5 yen coins wishing for peace. Even recent 5 yen coins are made from melted old damaged 5 yen coins, so the exact metal composition is uncertain. Since “five yen” (go-en) and “good fortune” (go-en) have the same pronunciation, many Japanese people consider the 5 yen coin a lucky charm.
