Reply to comment by Nathan-Wind in TIL that one of the top convenience stores in Japan was founded in Ohio, and that there are now only 2 locations open in the United States by 0wnzl1f3

I accidentally left a single yen on the counter of a 7-11 in Kumamoto once. I had walked up there and was about 2 blocks away when I heard someone trying to get my attention. The guy left people unattended in the store and ran after me to return a fraction of a penny.

1 ¥ is about a penny, not exactly a “fraction” as if it were half or less

1 yen is .0069 of a U.S. dollar right now. 69% of a penny. Hence fraction.
