It's from Japan 
(日本 means Japan in Japanese and has the same meaning in Chinese)

Don't you think you should put in back John?
Isn't that stealing?  |

If the bank would take it lol
We collect change each month and at the end of the year donate the sum to a local ministry/charity.
Each month I take the box to the bank, if there are any foreign coins in the box, I do a mission lesson on what the church is doing in that country the next Sunday.
This week was Japan (which I have previously done) and Portugal

it is made in 1980
dont think it is collectible
I believe the exchange rate is 1 usd= 250+ yan at that time
so it is 0.04 usd at that time
or 0.1 usd now |

Great idea. I imagine some of the nice forum members here could send you some "coin of the realm" from their respective countries to help the cause.  |

The coin is rusty and in really bad shape for a collector.
Totally worthless. Keep it as a memory. |

| Stick it in ketchup. Let it sit there for 24h. Take it out and wash it with warm water, it will look like a mint coin. |

I used to be a coin collector (before I discovered the world of CPUs) 
I like to dip the coin into a lemon. Usually it takes 5-10 seconds to get a shiny coin
