I would've actually expected a buyer like OpenAI or Anthropic, if I'm being perfectly honest. Atlassian is such a strange buyer. $610m in cash is really low in the grand scheme of AI pricing too. If they're only worth $610m,

I 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.

I would personally argue that 20,000 yen is not a low maximum balance for day-to-day purchases like food, because you can recharge so easily. Before Suica (and a bit concurrently), JNR and later JR issued "orange cards" that inclu
