About this book
Why does the five-yen coin have a hole in it — and who are the people on Japan's new banknotes? How did Edo money changers price gold koban against silver and strings of zeni?
Japan Money & Shopping Word Search: Large Print is a giant puzzle tour of how money and shopping work in Japan: 300 large-print puzzles, 600 words, and every word carries a one-line note that teaches you something real as you play.
