Carry a coinpurse. I use an old faux-suede Samsung camera pouch.[1] Plus it's fun when someone is running an errand for you, like getting you a snack from the konbini across the street, and you plop your coinpurse on the desk with a thud, then pour out a handful of 500-yen coins and say "this should cover it", like a feudal lord.

- charcircuit 1y agoWhy have a whole purse when it is already built into your phone which you already are carrying around anyways.
- account42 1y agoBecause my coin purse isn't going to randomly decide that it doesn't like the transaction.
- CapricornNoble 1y agoYou would give someone your PHONE to go buy a snack for you across the street? And tell them your screen unlock combo? Dumping some coins out of my coinpurse is far superior analog, low-tech Access Control to my money.
- Shank 1y agoI do carry a coin purse, and I have no use for 1 yen coins. Sure, 10 yen, 50 yen, and 100 yen coins are easily spent, but 1 yen is not. Same issue with pennies in the US.
