"Money, Money, Money" ! (・ω・)
There are 5 kinds of coins for Japanese money.
日本のお金には、５種類の硬貨があります。
The 5 yen coin, the 10 yen coin, the 50 yen coin, the 100 yen coin, and the 500 yen coin.
５円玉、１０円玉、５０円玉、１００円玉、そして５００円玉です。
I will talk about the 5 yen coin today.
今日は、５円玉についてのお話をしようと思います。
A 5 yen is called like 五円(ごえん-GO E N) in Japanese.
５YENは、日本語で「五円」と言います。
(5=ご(GO), and YEN=えん(E N))
And it is a completely same pronunciation with "御縁（ごえん-GO E N）".
そして、それは「御縁」と全く同じ発音です。
御縁(GO E N) means like ties of people..I guess :p
御縁とは、人々の絆、というような意味です…たぶん。
So Japanese people often throw in a 5 yen coin to a offering box at Shinto shrines, with own desire that hope to meet a good partner .
だから日本人はよく、良き相手と巡り合えるよう願いを込めながら、神社のお賽銭箱に５円玉を投げ入れます。
..I thought that this topic was a rather difficult for me to write in English. haha.
…この話はちょっと英語で書くには難しいということに気付きました。笑
Anyways!
とにかく！
The 5 yen coin is a symbol that connect people to people for Japanese :)
５円玉は日本人にとって人々の縁を繋げるものの象徴なのです。

Even if this was a tough topic for you to write about, it was very well written!
Well done^^
I am still weak on write a long sentence in English.
and Thank you for your correction!^^
There are 5 coin denominations in Japan.
Peke has a 5 yen coin on the laces of his shoe
Oh really? Then fortune will smile on him really soon, I guess^^
Oh no, Poor Peke! I hope he will be happy next!
Really? Thank you, I will try to remember this new word, but such your opinion is really helpful for me^^
Ah, the five yen coin, huh? Reminds me of a time I accidently mistook a five yen coin for a fifty yen coin. It was very embarassing.
Your English is very good! Keep up the good work. :)
あぁ、五円玉か？そう言えば、日本にいた時、五円玉が五十円玉だって間違ったことがある。恥ずかしかった！
Aliceさんってやっぱり英語上手ですね！頑張ってください！
Because both of these coins have holes, it is sometimes rather confused me too! haha.
Thank you, but I think your Japanese is very good too, than my English!^^
We have that too here! If you throw a penny into a well, you can make a wish on it, and hopefully it'll come true. And if I visit a shrine in Japan again, I'll have to try that one day haha. =)
Then when you come to Japan next, let's go to a shrine with me! haha.
