Good sense of humor there, stelios. Yes, these are two different coins from Japan; the top is a 10-yen bronze coin, minted until 1989 (the reeded-edge version ended in 1958); the bottom is a 5-yen example (posted upside down) from about the same period. I'll let the kanji experts comment on mint dates.

The 5 yen is Showa yr. 24 (1949) from another thread. The date of the 10 yen is on the other side. Both coins are very common, just a few cents each.
