What a great day! Got 3 C's: Clad, Coin, Car!!

Not much to show, but, what a fun day! I love this hobby. It was a little chilly and the wind was honkin'! However, I added to my Hot Wheels collection:

That's 5 cars in less than 5 months......one car a month! Not bad!!

Then there was this odd oriental coin. Just don't find too many 'ornamental' coins in northeast Texas!! Anyone know what this is? 10 Yen? 10 Won?

Add to all of the above about $1.79 in clad, all dug on a beautiful day......that makes for a GREAT day!

So, it is 10 YEN, for sure? A Japanese coin? Anyway to tell the date or are they even dated?

On the 10 Yen Japanese coin the date on the front side on the third of 4 characters is the number 9. In Japanese and Chinese coinage, they go by the year of the current ruler's tenure. In this case this year 9 is the 9th year of Akihito (Heisei) being in rule and in our dating system is 1997. You have one out of roughly 490.9 million that were minted that year.

Wow! You are some sort of expert on these coins! Thanks a bunch!! I'm still trying to figure out how such a coin would end up in a soccer field in Texas, but, I do think it is just too cool! I'm going to give you the credit for solving the puzzle in the "What is it?" forum!!

Oooooo, I just looked it up and it is worth 01.19 cents! One step closer to becoming a bazillionaire!
