Press for change








The default denomination at ATMs is the 1 man bill, about 100 dollars. I noticed this nifty "partial change" button on my bank's machine for the first time not long ago. After you enter the total amount you want and press the "yen" button, you press that green fellow above instead of the usual "enter" (確認)button at the bottom right. The machine will break down 10,000 yen of your money into smaller denominations, like 1000s.

This is not really necessary for shopping as no one will bat an eye while counting out 9,720 yen in change for your cup of coffee, but it is useful if you are about to go out with friends and split a check. No, no. Don't thank me. Japandra is just here to help.
