Senryoubako
You can lift a "Senryoubako" here. Originally a chest containing 1,000 gold "Kobang coins," it was used for storing, saving, and carrying such coins. Made of oak with clasp and iron band, it weighs about 20kg. Try and lift it!
Coin Bags
After inspection, approved coins are accurately counted and bagged. The new coins are delivered to the Bank of Japan via the Ministry of Finance. For example, the 500-yen bag, containing 2,000 500-yen coins, weighs about 14kg. Can you lift it?
