Japanese Coins and thanks to two forum members

I just had a nice hour or so finding out what some Japanese coins are.
The coins were given to me years ago by a forum member called Cathy.
The book was given to me by Clio, who is still an active member here, just before he left Ireland to head home to the US.
To identify the coins I started using the book but eventually found the identity of the coins online.
The coins aren't worth much but at least I'm getting more familiar with Japanese coins (which juxtaposes well with my Country of the Month threads).
To celebrate Japanese coins post yours below!!

I'm BACK!!! Used to be Billet7 on the old forum.
Actually my daughter's coin.
I've been looking into Japanese coins and, for no good reason, bought this 100 Mon.
I can see myself buying more Japanese coins in the future.
