Long story short, I had an amazing opportunity to visit Japan. I had an absolutely wonderful time in your country. I have some yen bills leftover (not change) and I went to sell it back to the bank and the fees mean I basically will get back a dollar. Welp, I’d rather pack it up nicely and mail it to someone who can use it. Can you please email me at elenia25 @ [gmail.com](http://gmail.com) with your name and address (and Doper name) and I will gladly mail it this week. ---

Why don’t you just keep it for the next time you go to Japan? You may think that unlikely, but in this life you never know. That’s what I do with my leftover foreign bills, and it almost always turns out that I go back to that country eventually, even if it’s years later. ---

It is going to be a long time and I’d rather someone just use them now! ---

Or you could expand your offer to Dopers that may be visiting Japan in the near future. ---
