The Japanese coin, a 10 sen silver piece, is upside down. I accidentally photographed it that way. It's an easy mistake for American Me to make. So sorry.
I was attracted to that coin the moment I saw it; what a cool dragon. The coin is in good shape, and I like the detail evident. It's Meiji 38 (that is, 1905.)
Same with the NZ shilling. I saw that and thought, "Oooh, neat-o." Nice design, nice shape, must obtain.
In my experience, Japanese people are used to looking at their coins upside-down, what with Japan being on the bottom side of the globe. In particular, ninjas ordinarily just laugh at gravity. And smirk at justice. And grin at blog comments [in Japanese, "blomments"] as they purchase their throwing stars at 10 sen apiece.
