bionicle617 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/01/2013 10:03 pm I have tried looking up the characters but I can't find anything. The coin is the same front and back, with only the characters around the edges, silver in color. Can someone please fulfill my curiosity and tell me what this coin is? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

mjjudd New Member Japan 39 Posts	Posted 10/02/2013 03:45 am whoops, totally glossed over while I was typing that last post, "rakkiii" is "lucky" in Japanese. Kind of an easy one:) Report this Post to the Staff

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 10/03/2013 6:50 pm The script isn't kanji, but katakana. I used to be really into this stuff, but I've forgotten most - at least I can tell apart the three alphabets (kanji is the complicated one). Report this Post to the Staff
