Wednesday, April 22 saw the beginning of a program at selected financial institutions nationwide where the public can exchange 100 yen coins for commemorative 100 yen coins with shinkansen designs.  There are a total of 5 designs- for the Tokaido, Sanyo, Tohoku, Joetsu, and Hokuriku Shinkansen, with the N700A, 500 series, E5, E4, and E7 designs respectively on one side, and the 0 series on the other. Coins for the Kyushu, Hokkaido, Akita, and Yamagata Shinkansen are planned to be released in the future.

Yap. Expecting a large sum 5 years later for 1 complete set of 100yen coins...

 

Are these coins exchanged free of charge at the banks, i.e. we just go to the banks with 100 yen coins to change these?
