   getting tired of small change, I hope my bank will accept a bag with 2000¥ worth of 10, 5 and 1¥ coins because I'm just gonna dump it in a shrine offering box if not :rokalife:

     @2ch In France one way is the post office but maybe that's because they're also a bank (and I tend to use their distributors to get sane cash bills instead of like a single 50€ bill).
     
     And I guess Japan doesn't have auto-cashiers in general stores?

     @lanodan tbh in France I use much less cash, and I just discovered that I could pay much things with my ICOCA in japan so I'm pretty stupid...
     
     It's kind of an hybrid system in japan, there's a cashier but they just scan the articles for you and then you pay at a machine that accepts cash, but only up to 20 coins :gyate_yamaxanadu:
     so everytime I put a handful of coins, top up with a 1000 yen note and the machine spits out another handful of coins.................

     @2ch But yeah in France you can probably go cashless y design while in Japan I've heard it's very cash-dependent and managing coins is a habit+skill that most folks here lost, to the point where even cashiers sometimes struggle with it (trick is to take the amount they were supposed to give as base number and then count change up to what they gave, quite like when using an analog balance).

     @lanodan Nihon Hotoke Kyoukai :gyate_patchouli_wow: (日本仏協会)
     
     Funnily enough here I meant 仏 (hotoke) as Buddha, but it can also be read as futsu, and in this case it means France (shortened from the old japanese name for France, back when it wasn't just katakana)

     @2ch Well makes sense to use a kanji for it when you can I guess.
     (But well I'm apparently doomed to be illiterate when it comes to Japanese)
