The 5 yen has a hole in it. The 1 yen is aluminum and it floats!
The 500 yen coin is the highest value coin in everyday use anywhere in the world. It's handy for buying beer, etc. etc. from the vending machines.

here is a link to show you what the coins look like. http://scnc.lsd.k12.mi.us/~drich/images/money.jpg In terms of the incremental value, it is very similar to the United States. Similarly, the value is about on par with the US. 1yen is equally to about 1 penny, hence a 1000yen bill is equivalent to about $10.
