Can I share something with you? I'm not sure whether I should call this a hobby or a habit. 
I save 500 yen coins. I've done it for years. I make it my policy never to use a 500 yen coin to purchase anything. In fact, I even sometimes add coins to a purchase, just so that I can guarantee receiving a 500 yen coin in change.
I keep a cute Panda container on my desk where I place the coins after I get back home. It holds approximately 20万円 worth of 500 yen coins. The extra cash sure comes in handy when my family and I have a chance to go back to visit California, as we will at the end of this month.
How many of you also save 500 yen coins?
