Chapter 1429 On the Rare Coin
At the Nohara residence, Misae found Hiroshi and took a coin out of her wallet: "Honey, there was a strange coin in the change we got back."
"Huh? Strange coin." The little ones looked at Misae with some curiosity.
"A misprinted coin?" Mingxu looked at Meiya uncertainly.
"Oh, let me see." Hiroshi took the coin, glanced at it, and said with some surprise, "Oh, the hole is off-center. I remember this kind of coin is called a variant coin."
"A weird coin?" Shin-chan scratched his head and asked.
"It's not a 'freak coin,' it's a variant coin, which is a coin that failed during the manufacturing process," Hiroshi explained, holding up the coin with a concave shape.
“It looks a bit like the wrong version,” Mingxu nodded.
"Oh~ I only got one failed coin, Mom is such a failure." Shin-chan complained to Misae.
Misae glared at Shin-chan, then looked at Hiroshi: "So, this 50 yen coin can't be used?"
“I think I can still use it if I want, but because it’s so rare, it might actually be more valuable.” Hiroshi said, taking out his phone to search: “Hmm, let me check… a 50-yen coin with a hole slightly off-center… I’ve got it!” As he spoke, Hiroshi exclaimed with some surprise, “Let me see… some of these off-center holes are worth as much as 30 yen… Ah!” Hiroshi’s eyes widened in astonishment. Misae was also astonished.
Shin-chan was a little curious: "How many tens of thousands is 30?"
"You can eat as many cookies as you want, until you're sick of them," Mingxu said casually, looking at Xiaoxin.
"Hehe~" Shin-chan immediately laughed. He really liked this scene!
Misae exclaimed in surprise, "I never imagined this coin would be so precious."
"The hole's off-center location is pretty good, hmm. It looks like it should be worth 30." Hiroshi's expression changed, and he began to daydream.
"If that's true, it's a considerable windfall!" Misae said, somewhat excitedly.
Seeing Misae's expression, Hiroshi asked with a smile, "If this could sell for 30 yen, what would you want to do with it?"
Misae pondered upon hearing this: "First, we need to save money!"
"No, no, this kind of windfall should be spent lavishly!" Hiroshi immediately shook his head and said.
Misae raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "In that case, there's a bag I've always wanted, can I buy it?"
"Hehe~ Buy whatever you want, buy whatever you want. What about Xiaoxu and Xiaoxin? What do you want?" Hiroshi said, looking at the two little ones and asking with a smile.
"I want to eat lots of tamagoyaki sushi!" Shin-chan said without hesitation.
“I… I want some books,” Mingxu shrugged.
"Buy it all! Forget about tamagoyaki sushi and books! I'll take you to eat high-end sushi and buy some collector's edition books!" Hiroshi said with a hearty expression.
"Wow~ I'm so happy to be Dad's son!" Shin-chan excitedly hugged Hiroshi, and Himawari also crawled over and hugged Hiroshi's arm.
Mingxu sat to the side smiling, while Meiya looked at Guangzhi with gentle eyes and asked, "Isn't there anything you want?"
Upon hearing this, Hiroshi looked at Misae and asked, "Could we add a few more cans of beer to our dinner?"
“Of course.” Misae smiled and looked at Hiroshi.
"Oh~ That's great! Haha~" The family burst into laughter. Then Hiroshi started searching on his phone: "Okay, now we need to find a shop that buys variant coins. Oh! There seems to be a good antique coin shop over in the shopping street."
"Make sure you sell it for a good price," Misae said, a little worried.
Hiroshi confidently patted his chest and said, "Alright, don't worry about leaving it to me."
"Don't let anyone see through your tricks," Misae reminded her again.
Shin-chan shook his head: "Dad's feet smell so bad, no one would want to see them."
"That's not what I meant." Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin speechlessly: "It means don't get fooled by others."
"Yeah, and don't talk about my feet like that." Hiroshi looked at Shin-chan helplessly, then stood up; "Asahi, Shin-chan, come with me."
"Okay." The two little ones nodded. They were also quite curious about how much this thing could sell for.
As he walked down the street, Hiroshi kept muttering, "30, 30!"
Shin-chan also shouted, "Little cookies, little cookies!"
Mingxu looked at them helplessly. "Is it really necessary? Dad, you're making over a million a month now. This is just icing on the cake."
As they walked, Hiroshi suddenly remembered something: "Hey, right, we should take a picture to remember this before we sell it." As he spoke, Hiroshi took out his wallet and was about to take out the coins to take a picture when Shin-chan's eyes lit up: "Take a picture! Let me take the picture! Let me take the picture!" As he spoke, he pounced on Hiroshi and kept climbing up his arm. Hiroshi hurriedly dodged, but the wallet was upside down, and all the coins inside fell out at once.
"Ah!!" A gust of wind blew down many leaves from the tree, burying all the coins. Hiroshi was even more alarmed: "Ah! Oh no! 50, 50, 50! Asahi and Shin, hurry up and help us find them!" Hiroshi called out anxiously to the little ones.
"Okay." The two of them squatted down and looked for the coins, but the most important one was the fifty-yuan coin.
Mingxu searched for a long time and found some coins, but he didn't see the fifty coin.
Shin-chan suddenly exclaimed, "Found it!"
"Huh? Found it?... That's a ginkgo tree." Hiroshi looked at Shin-chan speechlessly. What is this kid thinking all day long?!
"Is this edible?" Shin-chan asked the two of them curiously.
Mingxu nodded, and Guangzhi rolled his eyes at him: "Now, can you help me find 50 coins first?"
"Hmm." The three continued their search.
"Fifty."
"Sixty," Xiaoxin exclaimed instinctively.
"70."
"80."
"90... Ah, that's not right!" Hiroshi looked at Shin-chan speechlessly, then buried his head and continued searching.
Shin-chan suddenly exclaimed again, "Oh! Dad, it's Asahi!"
"Huh?" The two looked at Shin-chan with some confusion, wondering what he had found this time.
"Hehe~ I found 500 coins," Shin-chan said with a grin.
"…It's more important for you to find that 50-coin for me first, okay?" Hiroshi rolled his eyes at Shin-chan, full of helplessness.
"Then put it back." Xiaoxin said, about to put it back where it was, but Mingxu took it away speechlessly: "This also fell from Dad's, so we have to find it back, okay?"
"Yeah, there's no need to put it back, it's my money to begin with." Hiroshi looked at Shin-chan helplessly. What was this kid thinking?
The three continued searching through the pile of fallen leaves. Suddenly, Mingxu's finger touched a round object with rough edges. His eyes lit up, and he quickly brushed aside the surrounding leaves. There, lying quietly, was a fifty-cent coin with a hole in it.
