Hi everyone! Yes this is re-upload video! Last time we got false copyrights claim. We talk about it in our community section! czcams.com/users/postUgkxlfgPH5CaBCBnuvZGK1hjh9CGprrGVfp4
re:wallet you have to remember in Murica they have backwards logic, they'll wear their shoes in the house or on their bed. But will walk outside barefoot, or will not wash their hands after they use the restroom...
But Japan is not allowing Americans in still right?
I saw your videos and thought bokksu looked amazing.... but when I looked into it further I discovered that it was somewhat expensive for the small amount you get, at least for a monthly subscription.
Does Bokksu (or another company) offer one-time purchases that I could order 1-2 times a year for special occasions?
Yep, yet another victim of DMCA abusers. Honestly, DMCA needs to be tossed out of a thirty-story window. *Splat.*
Mrs. Eats: “Respect money. Don’t fold it.”
Also Mrs. Eats: “Here’s how to fold it into funny faces.”
I agree with this.
Money in the bra because, for some reason, western female clothing rarely has pockets.. socks & underwear because people get mugged or are pickpocketted, tougher to find the money there lol
50/50 statement
I think women's clothing lack of pockets is a marketing ploy to increase purse sales, which ironically is one of the easiest targets for thieves
@@gk2370 I just wear men's cargo shorts, I've never owned a purse.
@@gk2370 if fashion designers did the right thing and remodeled women’s clothing so that it had plenty of useful pockets from the get-go, you would find women gladly using pockets and not having to use their bra as an extra pocket.
@@gk2370 no it's because pockets screw the lines on tight fitted clothing. In dresses they can also be extremely unreliable since they kind of "float", causing more pressure on the seams and shortening the lifespan of the dress. Companies try pockets every few years and get stuck with inventory they end up selling to discount stores at a loss.
I was raised by a woman who made women's clothing as a sideline and I have personally made more dresses than most women have worn.
I've literally grown up hearing and watching this when women would request her to make "something with pockets, only to stop wearing it when they realized the pockets screwed it up
The money in the sock or bra has more to do with protection. I was told to do that when I went out in case my wallet was stolen. Women were told to put money in their bra if they were on a date. The money in the bra could be used to get a taxi if the date goes wrong. I'm originally from New York and I was always told not to put all of my money in my wallet in case I encountered a pickpocket.
I really like the crisp feeling of the Japanese paper money.
Yes! It was for safety!
If only safety was higher.
Wtf do you need to do this, are pickpockets in the US really that many?
@@lauragoreni3020 I'm originally from New York (Long Island). Back in the 1970s and 1980s, New York City was a rough place. Yes, pickpocketing was rampant. It isn't as bad now but, there are some places like Las Vegas that have a high crime rate. Since I was brought up with it, I still pack safely when I travel.
@@lauragoreni3020
Not just pickpockets, but muggers & robbers. Hiding your money in various places on your person is a method of not losing everything. If you're attacked or held at gunpoint, the criminals might go for your pockets, so you leave a little bit of money there so the criminals feel like they got something & not hurt or kill you out of frustration, but hide the bulk of the money in other places on your person & hope they're not too thorough in robbing you.
When I studied in Japan, one of the things I will never forget is the Japanese students leaving their bags on their seats in the cafeteria to go order their food. Unbelievable.
My school makes us do that when going to get breakfast in the morning
I used to work as a cleaner in a UK university library. Virtually every day someone left USB drives, bags, pairs of headphones or in some cases pretty decent laptops on their seats and just...left, to shop, to get lunch, to go home and sleep, who knows. I collected them up and handed them in. Most of the time it was Chinese students (there were almost no Japanese students) who were just not aware of the concept of this not being safe.
It's the same in Denmark, you expect to be able to leave your stuff around for a certain amount of time
I’d do that
I guess you must live in Somalia! The only country from the top of the head one can think of where someone would just not leave their backpack in their chair JUST TO ORDER jesus xist!
Fun fact about American money: the lower the denomination, the rougher condition the money usually is. $1 bills almost always look like someone was using them to wipe sweat from their brows and other body parts while the $100 tend to look nice and crisp.
Of course, there are caveats to this rule, but it does usually end up being true.
I noticed that, too. That might explain why the vending machines puke the $1 banknotes too often. My tip is to fold the banknote lengthwise in half then press along the fold before unfolding it partially open into V. I spit on the banknote to make it more "palatable". The vending machines always swallow them...
Makes sense, the lowest value of paper money is the equivalent of USA $10. All lower value is in the form of coins.
Well $1's, $5's, $10's, & $20's get get passed out the most as it would be weird to buy a bag of chips with a $50 or $100 note.
And the Mint only destroys money that's old, damaged, or worn out rather than merely wrinkled or dirty. Though bills with minor rips or tears will still get used so long as the damage doesn't keep the bill from being clearly identified as legal tender.
The US Gov. has tried many times to make coins for lower denominations like $1, but everytime they either just don't catch on with the public, or in the case of the gold sacagawea $1 coins released in 2000 people tended to hord them like collectors items instead of spending them, as I was in my senior year of high school in 2000 when they got released, had a few in my pocket I had gotten on my break working at a gas station at the time for my after school job, and when I went to school the next morning I went to the school's little store ran by the economics class as I had forgot my pen case, so I went to buy some, and handed the girl working one of the $1 gold coins, and she was like what's that, is this a quarter($.25) with a confused look on her face, and I had to explain what it was to her, and that yes it was/is legal tender, and to this day they are still a rare sight to see. 🤦♂️
500¥ coin was such a fun currency to handle when I visited Japan. It's got a nice weight to it. And having roughly $5 in coin form was new to me.
Ah... I guess I'm not the only one that loves the 500 Yen coin
japanese currency is so dangerous for chileans. They use the exact same denominations, and 100 pesos is pretty easy to spend on some candy, 500 pesos is cheap for some small soft drink can, so it's easy to lose notion of money and spending 100 yen coins like they were pennies, even 500 yen feels apparently a little amount. The problem is that 1 yen = 8 pesos so you can easily blow your budget lol
I wish that we _would_ catch up to the rest of the world in that regard. 1, 2, and 5 Dollar coins make so much more sense, as well as plastic bills. It's the vending machine industry that's preventing it because they don't want to go through the expense of altering their machines to accept them, and ironically, pay politicians a fortune to keep it that way.
When all our current US coin denominations were formed, they were worth a LOT more than they are now. Due to inflation, a $1 coin was like their $20 bill about 100-200 years ago. And we used to have half dollar coins, that would have been like today's $10 bill in value. Going down the line, quarters would be like $5 bill, and nickels like $1 bill, and pennies closer to quarters. A pocket full of coins could pay for a whole grocery or shopping trip, or even pay your rent (avg rent in 1901 was $28). So really you wouldn't use bills at all, except for large business transactions. Our current coin denominations make no sense with current value. Even with quarters, you need a huge handful of them to even buy lunch. And nobody seems to want to use the $1 coin. Pennies, nickels and even dimes are essentially useless. Japan actually has a similar problem, because 1, 5 or 10 yen coin are in the same boat. But at least they use 50, 100 and 500 yen coins so that coins still have some value.
I agree, it was a nice experience when visiting Japan to have a pocket full of change actually be worth something again.
@@the_wiki9408 It's the same with Euros. I had such a hard time remembering that my pocket change actually had value.
Start: Money is very sacred, we don't fold it.
End: starts doing origami with the ¥1000 bill. lol
Why isn't Mrs Eats portrait on the bills? Plus they should put Zatoichi and Aqua on some of the bills. Or even Spike Spiegel, Faye Valentine and Jet Black maybe on coins
The island of Niue has Pokemon on some of its currency. Yes, really. Officially.
It's a very small population but still really cool.
I live in America and I'm always amazed when I see a crisp dollar that hasn't been folded or crumpled yet
I actually hate getting super crisp bills at the banks because I'm always afraid they'll stick together. I either arrange them in different ways or give them a little crumple 😅
U.S. money started using many of the same counterfeit proof designs. This was, of course, after many other countries did it. U.S. money used the same basic design for many decades, which made it very easy for counterfeiters. The holographic inlay was considered for U.S. money, but it didn't withstand the crumple or clothes washer test. Many of the security features used in U.S. money today, I saw on educational television back in the 1980s. It took about 20 years before the government finally got around to changing the way bills looked and how they were constructed.
Except for $1 banknote. Congress has faffed on switching to coins for years. Actually, there are organisations and lobby groups for preserving $1 banknotes...geesh.
@@InTeCredo $1 bank notes aren't profitable enough for counterfeiters to bother with making. $20, $50 and $100 notes are what they make.
Yup 100% guilty. I’m one of those “bra stashers”.🙋♀️
I basically keep everything in there (phone, keys, chapstick, wallet, self defense items, sometimes mini bottles…)-I know exactly which part, of what cup, each item is stored in!🤣
But I definitely don’t put the money straight into it!
I have a super thin, flexible (waterproof) bill fold that I keep my money in, before it gets “put in the vault”.
Because when I was young and dumb-er…I lived in a couple places where pickpockets were a real problem-so that’s how/why I first started doing it.
I might not notice someone’s hand in my purse if I’m distracted….but no matter how distracted I am-I’ll sure as heII notice someone shoving a hand into my bra! 🤣🤷♀️
The reason for placing cash in bras or socks is because the wallet the person has ussually only has twenty bucks, so if they get mugged they give the wallet with the 20 dollars so they're left alone and they keep the money hidden on their body.
They make shoe-side pockets for that. Please do not give your boob-sweat dollar bills to your cashier.
-Once an owner of these shoes, and used to handle bra-sweat money.
I am sure that most countries coins have ridges, because it used to be common for people to file down the coins to shave off the gold and silver. On a related note, we call coins "change" because the coins used to have slices taken off them when someone needed to use a higher denomination than what the product cost. you would weigh the coins on a scale to see how much "change" needed to make the deal even.
RE buying wallets, my family's tradition (not sure if all British people do this) is that you never buy your own wallet, someone else should buy it for you and give it as a gift, and it should be given with money already in it (doesn't have to be a lot of money, can even be a single coin) because if it's empty that's bad luck in terms of your future finances.
My family from the Southern US follows that tradition as well. 😊 Even if it's as little as a quarter, a wallet or purse should always be given with little money in it "so their wallet will never be empty".
I remember every wallet has that cardholder for the JR trains and so on. People always scan their wallet while I take out my card. (Also those big jars and boxes everywhere for the unending 1 Yen coins you will never want to carry)
Mrs. Eats editing skills have leveled up again with Star Platinum beating up a Dollar bill
When I was a little kid in the 70s, my grandmother gave me my grandfather's old Japanese coins. When I went to Tokyo in 2017, I returned the coins to Japan by putting them in the money box at Sensoji Temple. :)
Yen Banknote (paper bills) in circulation 4.5 years on average. USD banknote in circulation 6 years on average. Also USD Banknote cover smaller denominations ($1, $5) whereas Yen in those smaller denominations are issued with more durable coins.
But Japanese are, on average, more fastidious than Americans IMO.
Canadian money has a lot of these features, including that the patterns on all edges link up to the patterns on all other edges, no matter which edge or side of the bill you align.
They're not paper, but made of a polymer that is not easily reproduced.
We keep money in bra or socks when going to a club, for eg, or a date like someone else said. It’s safer that way. What I don’t understand is why some women just keep the money in a bra literally all the time, especially in the summer. Yes, we have few pockets on our clothes, but purses so exist. I used to see some of the grimiest women come through the McDonald’s drive-thru and dif around in their bra to hand me said sweaty money in the summer time. Twas very nasty 😂 I’ve also had bills with old eyelashes attached to them or hair, but hair and sticky residue was mostly on coins handed over. Nastiest people come through McDonalds let me tell you 😂
It was really nasty working at 7-11 in Florida. You're instantly soaked the second you step outside, and bras are the worst.
in Canada, bills are made of plastic so it's waterproof. If you scratch a corner, it will disperse maple smell and alert moose and beaver around the area to gather to your house.
Lol
Oh, I thought they smelt of doughnuts.
I'm convinces that Mrs. Eats is a dominatrix in their relationship: all the talks of kancho, and buying Mr. Eats the toys 🧸
If you boil a Canadian 2 dollar coin, then put it in a cold liquid, sometimes the middle of the coin falls out.
The USA is probably going to be one of the last countries tin the world o use old paper money because we prefer the feel of it. Technically it's made out of a mix of cotton and linen. Most other countries have switched or will switch in the near future to synthetic polymer notes because they can have more security features, cooler designs, and it's more environmentally friendly to produce.
How is it more environmentally friendly to make something synthetic versus natural materials?
@@hippybecca There are a few factors but the main factor is that synthetic polymer money last about 2.5 times longer than traditional paper money.
The cotton (75%) and linen (25%) are the waste by-product sourced from the fabric and clothing manufacturing industry. So, they are environmentally better than polymer or synthetic material. Otherwise, the waste by-products would go in the dumpsite or like.
That "notice me senpai" shirt from the Bokksu ad made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂
I was a librarian for 17 years, library cards also tended to come out from all sorts of places 😬.
I’m also an origami artist, I like to leave a $1 model with unfolded larger bills as tips at restaurants in the US. John Montroll and Won Park have some excellent designs for money origami. Is there an appropriate way to give these as gifts in Japan?
Hello fellow librarian! I was one for 15 years.
I just love Japanese snacks - a waaaay too much especially the melon bonbons and crispy seaweed-snacks :D But i love seaweed in general.
And Edamame. If im too lazy or have no time for preparing food, i mostly end up eating Edamame - i just love it. ♥
Gross commenting on an ad.... She gets paid to act like it's good lol
at the height of the pandemic, the shop i work in stopped taking cash because it's gross and covered in germs. one man pulled a wad of crumpled notes out of his wallet, and as we said to him 'i'm really sorry, we aren't accepting cash, only card payments' he rips off his mask and says 'why?!' then proceeds to lick his fingers to seperate the notes & tries to hand it to us. 'that's why, sir. that is exactly why we are not accepting cash.'
Hi, I'm new to the channel (thank you CZcams suggestions) and I gotta say, you two are amazing. I've been binge watching you all and love every bit of your content. Keep up the good work.
(before video-sees thumbnail) Carrying valuables such as currency and high-value commodities as close to your person as possible not only makes sense, but there are those that view it as very courteous, and this is definitely so back home. Some traders/merchants will even refuse to do business with those that carry such valuables externally. Not saying that people should carry large pouches of silver coins in their bra (in fact don't do this-it'll be problematic and will get stares from others), but rather, a satchel worn underneath fairly loose-fitting outfits.
Now, if one is wearing tight-fitting clothing or even armor, carrying money in that way is not recommended, but most people also don't conduct business in armor either, despite it being not a problem in many modern games that depict a setting not unlike how my homeland is *_(The Elder Scrolls series to name one example)._*
1:28 It's very simple, my dear; *_IT MAKES THIEVERY THAT MUCH HARDER._* Or, well, it _can,_ but it's not as simple as *_stow and forget._*
1:46 We buy patches of leather and stitch them into coin pouches. It's not special in any way. Just practical.
...
I honestly miss the simplicity of just having coins for currency. Using paper notes just feels (and is) illegitimate.
As for what my homeland's silver coins can do...they hurt when a bunch get thrown at ya. I guess they call this *_'Zeninage'._*
In America we actually have uv strips in the money (commonly known) but what alot of people don't know is that they're color coded. So what people started doing is washing small bills to counterfeit larger bills by using the real money it made it less detectable because all the stuff is there that a person at a cash register would look for. So now alot of places have a small black light so you can check that larger bills a) have uv strip & b) it's right color for the amount it's supposed to be 😸✌🏼
🧡🦇
Heyo!Well i live in india! and our currency is "Rupees" the notes also has some interesting similar features like the Japanese curreny!... Like tht photo appears when lights flashed on it!!... Great video!! 😊👍
We have a similar money culture. We give out crispy bills on our Islamic holidays or as a graduation gift. But it's becoming slowly unfavorable to give out money on non-holiday occasions like weddings or graduation. We would give them expensive watches or gold or jewelry (anything with great value that can be sold again '' completely not offensive btw''👌)
Wallets are really important.
Additional Japanese money trivia in the comments! The 2000 yen bill is rare but still money. In the corner there are 3 tactile dots.
It's rare in mainland, that's for sure! It has a special place in Okinawa's heart, because it features the gates to Shuri Castle on the front (illustration of the Tale of Genji on the back). In Okinawa, the 2000 yen banknote used to be the de facto way to pay employees for a short time, but it was (and remains) so unpopular that it's no longer the norm. You can still ask for it at the bank, and a portion of every exchange/withdrawal with 2000 banknotes will be donated to the Shuri Castle repair fund (it burned up in flames just before the pandemic). Japan is starting to embrace the cashless future, so the 2000 yen banknote is probably on its last legs.
8:40 .. 😂 well so much for not folding your money.
Once, many years ago when I delivered pizzas for Domino's, I received a $5 bill that looked like the person had literally used it like toilet paper. It was disgusting. But, I discovered that when I handed that bill out as change, it would always get returned to me. So I began using it as change as often as I could and was making bank ($5 tip for every delivery adds up). This lasted for quite sometime, until one day I handed it out as change and it was not returned to me. Gross, but profitable.
Bought bokksu with your link in December for 1 year plan.
The 500 yen coin was heavily counterfeited by North Korea and also China was suspected back in 2000.
You're really funny Mrs Easts, love your videos!
Mrs eats this is interesting!!! I enjoyed this and all your content! Thank you
Wow this was a very interesting episode. I actually learned allot that I didn't know. Thank You
What's your thoughts on Australia's money? We use polymer notes and I think they look fantastic, especially the recently released notes where there is a fully clear strip in the note, but I'm pretty biased.
And you can put it in the wash with no problems as its cover in plastic
@@dawndusk1007 You can wash, and dry US money(I've done it on accident a few times through the wash leaving it in my pocket) as it's made of a special cotton/paper/linen mix.
Money in the bra is an Asian thing as well. Many women, especially in the rural areas prefer to keep their money in the bosom as a way to protect anyone from touching it. Even we here in India have a tradition of giving money in special occasions, especially in marriages and birthdays. Usually we will give the fresh notes in a decorated envelope, and include a 1 Rupee coin as it's said to be auspicious.
Omg thanks for all this information!! I still have my 500 yen coin piece from when I visited Japan back in 2011 and I never noticed the smaller 500's inside the zero so it was a wonderful surprise!!
One reason that the US stayed with intaglio printed parchment notes for so long is cost.
Before we added lithograph printing to the notes, each note cost 33 cents to print, even with each printing plate starting as a new hand engraved piece of art.
That may be why $1 notes still don't have any advanced features.
Let me see if I can clarify a bit here, first off US nationals put money in random places like that to avoid pickpockets which is kinda also part of the reason we have a big credit card culture (also due to the fact its far more convenient I always hated having to pay with cash in Japan) since if that gets stolen you can call the company and cancel the card so it will just end up being a useless piece of plastic to whomever took it.
As for why our cash looks so crumpled and worn its down to the way its made being a mixture of cotton and linen, with some smaller synthetic fibers of various colors among other details like color shifting ink, specific weight, micro lenses, hidden watermarks, both micro and raised printing, UV sensitive fibers etc.
Which makes counterfeiting harder being the predominate currency of the world counterfeiting is a big issue with both domestic and foreign nationals attempting it, so you can often trust the worn bills more so than crisp new ones since the worn bills will more than likely have been checked multiple times for counterfeiting by time its reached your hands.
So unlike other countries who use either a wood pulp/fiber or full synthetic materials and who's currency doesn't see much international use and can be traded out for newer bills pretty regularly, ours is used globally since its considered a high value and stable currency internationally and thus takes more of a beating plus it is often the means of exchange for lets say less than legal exchanges for those reasons.
And this maybe just a personal perspective but I think we value more what the bill is worth and than the bill itself so we just don't care if its not in a pristine state as long as it can still be used as legal tender then that's perfectly acceptable to us.
I have been looking at Japanese things for 20 years and this is the first time I'm seeing the money. lol. Thanks. I love your channel by the way. You have wonderful fun energy. :) God bless.
Can't remember the last time i used physical money for something. Everyplace takes credit/debit cards now a days, even vending machines. I always feel so vulnerable when carrying cash, especially large amounts of it. If someone steals your cash you can't get it back, but if someone steals your credit card you just cancel it and no harm done, also most card companies are insured so even if they do somehow make a purchase with your card they will refund the amount. Credit/Debit cards are safer and more convenient.
I almost fell out of my chair laughing so hard at that last bit when you folded that dude's face into the henti, then sad henti.
we never fold money... 8:45 !!!
Modern American bills actually have a lot of very similar or the same kinds of anti-counterfeit measures/technologies! The big 2 exceptions are the ones that involve viewing the bills from an angle and the textured symbols in the corner. I wish we had those symbols to help people with visual impairment.
Many people in the states will also go to the bank for new currency when giving it as a gift at Christmas, birthdays, religious events (first communion, bar/bat mitzvah, etc.) or sometimes weddings.
Thank you for your very informative video on the money Mrs. Eats. I also love and miss my time spent in Japan.
Lol that last picture, she's so cute and sweet to her husband
I absolutely love this channel. It's a pick-me-up😁
You are so much fun!
I never thought Japan would be different in Japanese? That's fascinating!
westerners call it Japan because of a mispronunciation of Zipangu because of a book by Marco Polo where he used the Cantonese word "ji-peng-quo"; but Polo decided that Zipangu was easier for westerners to read and say. Its also pronounced as Nippon, but written as 日本 (ni-hon) the characters for sun and origin. Since the sun rises in Japan before it does in China (hence, the land of the rising sun). China is written as 中国 for "middle country"
@@jormungand72 Thank you! I have studied Japan because of my Martial arts training back in the 80's, I have great respect for the patience of of culture to learn.
It’s easy to count Australian money because each note is a different colour.
Dirty Money? Launder it Like Yakuza!!!🤣😆😂
Mrs. Eats: We like our money crisp and clean.
Also Mrs. Eats: Look how we can fold our money.
😆
We have many different historic characters on bank notes here in the UK, well when I say lots I mean 4 because we only have 4 denominations of bank note, and they resemble the Japanese money in the anti counterfeit, though not quite so intricate. Our latest notes no longer are made of paper so they look newer for longer now.
In the USA, money has been shown to harbor lots of bacteria, for all of the reasons that you outlined.
Canada has a similar technology when it comes to bills and coins too. :D We now even have a little translucent window and ink that can only be seen with a black light.
Did you know that a ¥1 coin floats in water?
I once had a flight layover at Narita International airport stopover to Manila and was very observant and noticed that high percentage of the Airport workers when asked something in another Language just pointed to the signs for directions. I very much realized that we must learn basic language skills if we travel to other countries. That is common sense to me. Thanks for all your Videos, they are very helpful to me!!!
Mrs Eats: We don’t fold money in Japan.
Also Mrs Eats: *OOH HE HAS A HENTAI SMILE*
One inconveniences of living in Japan is the stubborn resistance to cards. I almost never carry coins or cash in America, but I had no choice but to carry cash in Japan.
Being such a technologically advanced country you would think they would not rely so much in physical currency
@@luisf.r.f.desouza5089 it's technologically advanced if you're from 1986. That's where Japan has been stuck for 30 years
I hate those coins in Germany for a good reason. At the supermarkets and bakeries, there are ALWAYS the "coin miners" who mine endlessly for exact changes in 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s, and such before handing them to the cashiers who must count them and store them in the appropriate bins. More and more Germans nowadays have hemmed and huffed at the coin miners to hurry up: the Germans moved to the card payments _en massé_ during the pandemic.
Nowadays, many people in Japan use cards.
But you know, counterfeit bills in Japan are only about 20000 USD a year, while card fraud is about 3 billion. About half of it is related to the Chinese mafia.
Probably because counterfeit bills are so bad overseas, people are relying on cards. And the fact that China is not close by is probably another reason why they feel safe.
Cash is fine. Your money will be safer. Of course, it is not safe in a 3rdworld country like america. So cards are better there. But even then one shouldn't be using credit cards for small purchases. You're attracting interest like a fool for a $10 item. Regardless, cash countries like germany and japan are very safe in general so that's why cash stays.

Wallet: _cricket noise_
That 500 yen is the second generation. The latest, third generation was introduced on 01 Nov 2021.
In UK they even write on the bills so it's even more dirty.
Is this a re-upload? I swear I seen this before! ( It was just as good the second time I watched it! ) LoL!
Money only goes in my stock if I'm in a bad neighborhood where I might be robbed. This doesn't happen often but I have been mugged several times over the years.
Very interesting video.
Definitely watched this for information not for the thumbnail
For the most part, but not everyone in Canada, it's usually men have wallets that folds, so the money is folded like that, and it usually just goes in their pocket. And women usually have a long wallet that stay straight to fit the money in and keep it straight, and that goes in a purse. But not everyone does things this way either. Some may keep it in their braw or sock or just put it directly in their pocket without a wallet.
Oh, nice video. Very interesting
The talk of crisp clean notes makes me think of all the grubby £5 notes held together with tape in the UK XD
Oh I remember those! 😂 Being so scared I'd rip it and make it unusable. Now we have new notes that don't rip so easy I haven't seen any like that yet.
Also Japanese Money: If you copy Japanese Money through photo copier: it will leave different background pattern.
Also I recently copy my Jyuminho and found out it creates different background pattern in it.
If you copy US money, the printer won't copy it.
Hungarian Forint (HUF) is protected by bringing little lines in the paper thar can be seen under UV-light.
The one dollar bill in America has spider webs all around it and a tiny little spider on the top right "1"'crest on the upper left side of the "1"crest, front side.
On the new 20 dollar bill, the back side can be folded to look like two towers on fire/collapsing.
Those shape in the corner of the bills that are for people with vision problems... We have a similar thing for that. We call it Braille. It's a series of dots place in a certain pattern for each letter, number or symbol (! ? , : ' -). And on the bills they are actually bumps on the bill.
The first time that I touched american dollars I was shocked of how poor quality the paper is
I used to work at 7-11 and I hated it when women took money out of their bras. I live in Florida and you can imagine how nasty that is in our humid climate.
Keeping some money in your boot and other places keeps you from loosing it all when you get mugged.
Maybe american money is so easily wrinkled because of what it's made of....
25% linen, 75% cotton
I guess making it moreso fabric than paper
... as you may know, linen wrinkles very easily
Though I imagine then that ironing would make it look crisp and freshly minted?
To contrast, Yen are made mitsumata shrub bark and manilla hemp...
I mean linen, cotton, bark, hemp. We're not exactly talking wood pulp here--YET for some weird reason despite how non-papery as these fibers usually are--the currency still stays crisp for years like paper... and still tears easily, like paper. It's kind of creepy I think, lol
Now finally Japan has a circulating bimetallic coin - 500 yen. In my country such bimetallic coins - 2 and 5 złoty (some 60 and 140 yen respectively) - have been introduced as early as the 1st January 1995.
Not a Japanese, but I too take really good care of my notes. I thought that machines won't be able to process folded money, and shops won't accept it either. This is just my theory, but I also don't wanna test it, lol
When I was a kid back in the 1980's, my mom would have me hide 20 cents in my sock. I was instructed to only use it if I needed to call my parents from a pay phone. If I called her from a pay phone, it meant "come get me now". Once I got a type of shoe called penny loafers, my mom had me put the dimes in the penny slot instead of my sock. We also had a special whistle every member of my family knew in the event one of got lost. I think the 80's made everyone paranoid and it stuck because secret money is still a thing.
Yea the rash of serial killers in the 70s and 80s really killed out a lot of the communal goodwill in American culture.
Once upon a time hitchhiking was common, strangers could be trusted, and people were more than willing to help someone. It's very hard to find that neighborly American disposition en masse outside of small towns.
Also, money hasn't helped. If anything, the growing average income has made a lot of people more selfish and suspicious.
American money has cotton in the material used to make the currency. I iron my crumpled bills with an old hair iron.
I don't know about other countries, but here in Brazil, we hide the money to avoid it being robbed, since criminality here is so high...
Same way in U.S.
For the algorithm: Show me the money!
When i first visited Japan, i went to a money exchange in the airport. The lady that assisted me behind the counter counted the currency the “Japanese way”.
I was impressed but felt inconvinient because in America we rarely use physical money for payments.
Which part of America are you in? I'm in Philadelphia, Pa & we still have some stores that only take cash or charge extra if you pay by card & that contactless payment chip technology & pay-from-your-phone-app stuff isn't as wide spread as it probably should be.
That said, I still do most of my purchases by card & there's just some places I don't patronize as much anymore.
@@19Pyrus70 same in Southern California. Some small businesses take cash only but cash is still everywhere.
@@XSemperIdem5
Gotta still keep the Mint running to keep those workers employed & have somewhere cheap for the the kids to have school field trips.😏
@@19Pyrus70 the day cash disappears will be a very very bad day. Too much ability for government AND 3rd party interference with digital. Stupid shit like "carbon limits" and social credit scores under tyrannical governments that are never going to follow their own laws.
Yeah here in the US I rarely use cash for physical payments these days unless I'm going to some kind of a little hobby type fair, yard sales, the flea market, paying someone back who's older, and not up on cashless payments, or giving a gift(I can't stand gift cards), as most places just take my cards no problem, and even at the flea market with bigger sellers I've been able to send them Paypal, Google Pay, or use my credit/debit card. Heck even a lot of newer vending machines are now taking credit/debit cards.
The latent image on the conventional 500Yen coin is just "500円," but the new 500Yen coin will show "JAPAN" and "500YEN" when you look at it from above and below, respectively.
The weight of coin have also changed, so this year is going to be a busy year for refurbishing erotic gacha machines.
Japan with yen be like:
Counts real fast, so fast and still know how much yen they have in maybe a second?
The funny thing is that Americans on average don't put money in their underwear and a lot of places usually just say heck no when they do it.
Here's a strange thing, here in Detroit (In the Getto) we sometimes put our money in our socks to avoid giving money to robbers. Yes! we hide our money incase we are being robbed!
I like how you said Detroit twice
For a while because of the chronic pocketlessness of female clothes, I used to keep my wallet and phone wedged between my bra strap and my upper boob (so not a spot that gets sweaty). Unfortunately this looked like pulling things out of my bra or underarm so I had to stop 🥲
I used to put money in my bra or boots so it wouldn't get stolen or I could keep some if I was mugged. Again.
America is fun! 😀 lol
Can you do a reaction on Australian money as I like to hear your thoughts about it
