WHY THIS COIN IS INTERESTING

The coin features Mount Fuji, one of Japan\'s most recognizable landmarks, making it an especially interesting piece of historical world coinage.
For collectors interested in WWII history, wartime coinage, Japanese coins, or world coins, this is an affordable way to add an authentic period piece to a collection.
WHY DID JAPAN USE ALUMINUM FOR COINS?
During World War II, Japan faced growing shortages of traditional coinage metals as copper and other metals were increasingly needed for the war effort such as bullets, casings and other military needs just like wartime U.S. and Germany were doing at the same time. Aluminum was used for small-denomination coins because it was lightweight and required less of the scarce metals needed for military production. The Mount Fuji 1 Sen was part of this wartime change in Japanese coinage, making it an interesting example of how World War II affected even the everyday money people used in their daily lives.
WHAT IS A SEN?
The Sen was a subdivision of Japan\'s currency, similar to how a cent is a subdivision of the U.S. dollar. 100 Sen equaled 1 Japanese Yen. The 1 Sen coin was therefore a very small denomination used for everyday purchases in Japan. During the WWII era, these small-denomination coins became an interesting reflection of the changing materials and economic conditions of wartime Japan.
