ewomack Posted September 30 · Supporter Share Posted September 30 I had forgotten about this thread. I think this is the smallest denomination Japan ever produced. If my memory serves me right, 1 Rin equaled 1/100th of a Sen and 1/1000th of a Yen. Empire of Japan (大日本), 1 Rin (一厘), Meiji 7 (明治七年) or 1874, NGC MS 64 RB, JNDA 01-55 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
