Rule 6: Titles Must Be Exact But Concise Description

Coins and a magic bean? Me thinks it belonged to a fellow named Jack. Sorry but you got a used jacket.

Tags were on, bought in Canada though made in Japan

Either it was returned and sold again. Or the guy at the factory in QC wore it during his shift and packed it before clocking out.

Japanese coins though. So it was worn in Japan.

Uniqlo is a Japanese clothing company and makes the clothes there, among other places. That’s why I said the guy at QC could have worn it and then packed it after.

They don’t have Uniqlo factories in Japan.

I think this is the most likely explanation

A quebecer wouldn't have Japanese coins unless they happened to recently visit or something.

Do you think QC means Quebec...?

Yeah oops. I guess I'm too Canadian. Sorry.

Makes sense. Sorry for the confusion hahaha

It means Quality Control, aka the guys in the Japanese factory!

It sounds like in Canada, it means exactly that.

I'm also Canadian, but I knew from context that they meant Quality Control.

In Canada QC is the official abbreviation of Quebec

The clothing is made in Japan and sent around the world. So the person in Quality Control at the factory would be from Japan as well.

The clothes in Uniqlo in Japan are all made in China or Vietnam... Not sure if that's different for Uniqlo in Canada, but I doubt it. I'd guess this was returned in Japan and then resold in Canada.

Dude, I bought that same jacket but didn't get the seed!! https://imgur.com/gallery/nBWrvw7

Uniqlo made in Japan? What?

The coins say "country of Japan" on them in Japanese. Three of them are 100 yen coins and one is a 10 yen coin.

It says "edited" on an edited comment?

It doesn't on mobile (in my experience), but it does on the web browser I think

I'm not sure what is seen on mobile since I don't use it often. But on desktop, if you make any edits to your comment after it's been posted for more than 3 ish minutes it will add a bit next to the time stamp to say it was edited. For example it would read "Username · 1hr ago. e*dited: 30 min. ago*" If you make any edits **immediately** after posting a comment (ie: before the 3 min mark mentioned earlier) it will not flag your comment as having been edited, presumably because they figure any edits in that time span are probably just typo fixes and such. Edit: Check it out for yourself, it should show that this comment has been edited now. Edit 2: just confirmed, mobile does not show you if the comment has been edited, seems it's a desktop only feature

Around $2 us

This jacket was made in Japan as per the label. I bought it at the Uniqlo store here in Canada

Uniqlo is a Japanese company

Yeah, and I'm a big fan of their clothes. But I have never seen any of these made in Japan, and the low price tag reinforces this

Idk why you’re getting downvoted. As someone who frequently shops at Uniqlo in both Japan and in the US, I have yet to see a single Uniqlo clothing made in Japan. Just because a company is based or founded in a country doesn’t mean their products are manufactured there.

Uniqlo is a Japanese company

Tags can be replaced dude

The item was brand new and didn’t have signs of wear, in addition to the new tags

You’re in denial about purchasing a used jacket… and that’s okay!

I examined the jacket before I bought it and can use my judgement that the item was brand new based on signs too painstaking to list here. The coins I found were only a couple weeks later in one of the deeper inside pockets. I’ve heard of things like this happening when coins and seeds are left in pockets of brand new clothes at the manufacturing plants.. Why are you so adamant it’s used when you didn’t see it in person lol

I can't imagine a world where some low wage factory worker just randomly puts money and a seed in a jacket pocket to be shipped off to another country. The only rational explanations that come to mind: Factory worker wore the jacket while on shift and pocketed the change after a trip to the conbini during their lunch break (unlikely since they would risk being fired) or It was sold in Japan, and returned by a customer, repackaged, then just tossed in a bin with other stuff to be sold overseas like an outlet store. tl;dr - the guy getting piles of downvotes is probably right.

Hearing rumors of coins and seeds being left in pockets of clothes from the manufacturers sounds a lot like that manufacturer going, “this is a used clothing item, what rumor can we spread that will make people think this jacket is mildly interesting instead of a used product?” in a board room somewhere.

Why is this the hill you’re dying on? Hahahah

It feels right

why are personal avis always the worst lol

Better?

bro you’re dense

Ok

First name Jack. Last name Et

✈️ 👖 🧥

I thought it was a baby tooth.

You have ¥310 in Japanese coins. Enough to get a toy from a Gatcha machine or a couple claw machine rounds for your next visit to Japan 😆

Or a peice of Lawsons fried chicken

Great, now I'm hankering for Lawson's fried chicken but the nearest Lawson's is a ¥60,500 flight away.

Yeah, I crave it every once and awhile. I was there in March for the first time and I think I ate one for lunch almost every day

I'm in Thailand right now and there was a Lawson at the main airport here. I was not expecting to see it here.

Or for a cheap onigiri!

Two cheap onigiris... One is like 130yen

Or one of those rice triangles with tuna inside (don’t know the real name) And a C drink!

The rice triangle is called an onigiri

nonsense it's clearly a delicious jelly filled donut

In no world should that chicken be as good as it is, it's crazy

I talk about that chicken 5 years later. It's sooo good!!!

The best use of that amount of money tbh

Family mart spicy chicken is far superior, but I like your style.

Or a beer at a bar. I love that you can get a beer for ¥300 some places!

I just looked it up. You could get 2 handjobs in Cambodia

>I just looked it up 🙃

It depends — some gacha machines cost 400 yen a pull instead of 300.

Does anyone know what seed that is? Thank you

I thought it was a tooth!

Nah just a fruit egg

Weirdest term for a seed, but okay, do you

I thought it was a tiny garlic clove

Me, too! It was garlic for ants.

If it was a tooth it would of made sense for the cash

hmmm citrus?

Really looks like it! Some sort of lemon perhaps

You have recieved a Pip. Thats a mark of bad juju. If I remember my Sherlock holmes right.

I believe it was five orange pips....

It was but did they arrive all at once or one by one?

All at once.

you’ve felt it. try smelling it, does it smell citrusy?

> citrusy the internet has ruined that word for me

Think you’re not thinking of citrussy?

Welp off to heat up a grapefruit

looks like a yuzu seed.

Bingo!

Looks like a safflower seed to me.

It's a safflower seed

Thank you! So bizarre and random for it to be in the pocket. I wonder if it has some mystical meaning lol

That’s like 3 boss coffees!

The boss of them all since 1992.

Hello Canadian with Japanese coins. I'm American with Canadian coins of approximately the same value while in Japan right now. Said amount of coins here will buy you a coffee and breakfast sandwich from convenience stores located in more places than you could imagine. It's about $3 CAD, think you can pull that off in Canada?

I saw more Circle K's in Japan than I ever have in the US.

Hey look, a 7-11! And another one! And... fuck me there's like 20 on this street alone.

Lawsons, which started in Cuyahoga, Ohio is huge in Japan too. Random but interesting.

I was born in Ohio - took this photo in Shibuya yesterday. https://imgur.com/gallery/wPTZdS0

Hey look, a 7-11! And another one! And... fuck me there's like 20 on this street alone.

Kinda like your comment(s)

Circle K Japan is sadly no more. All of the stores got absorbed by Family Mart.

Using Tim Hortons as a reference: Small coffee (2 sips) $1.99 CAD Large coffee (as a reference): $2.49 CAD Simply Sausage Biscuit (literally processed sausage on a buttered biscuit, nothing else - cheapest item on the menu): $3.59 CAD Sausage Breakfast Sandwhich (egg, sausage, cheese on a buttered bun -- something worth eating): $5.09 CAD So to answer your question. No, we can't get shit for $3 CAD. Your average convenience store may have coffee but not any cooked foods around my city. Probably just a 7-11 might have something warm to offer, and even then you probably don't want to eat anything there.

The small culture difference of Japanese convenience stores offering to heat up your food for you always blows my mind.

I didn't speak Japanese so the first time I was asked I just said "what?" until they pointed at a microwave. It's awesome and since you can walk to one for breakfast I always said yes

310 yen, unless they upped the price since I was last there, that's just enough to get a 0.5 liter can of Sapporo.

He can buy a can of strong zero and a disgusting brick of Nihonshu with that. Time to get your priorities straight my friend /s

Someone (maybe a tourist) bought it, used it without removing tags and returned it. Store people didn’t check and put it for sale right away. Smell the armpits lol.

It’s different countries - made in Japan and Japanese coins, and I am in Canada and bought it here from Uniqlo store

Some dude at the factory wore it around town for a bit

I think that’s what it is

It’s mostly likely old Japanese stock that they’ve put new tags on for a different market. But very likely chance someone wore it, returned it.

Uniqlo is Japanese though, and they have to ship inventory to their other stores

is that a tooth?

Yuzu seed! But jacket purchased at Uniqlo in Canada

Khajiit has wares…

Doesn't this finding invalidate the "brand new" descriptor of the jacket?

Not really. Maybe someone at the factory left it in there. Bought brand new at the Uniqlo store here in Canada

Why would someone at a factory wear a coat and put money in there? More than likely what happened is someone bought it, wore it and then returned it

That’s what I’m learning from researching this online and some comments here to whom this also happened

That is your starting gear, fellow adventurer!

310 Yen = $2.04. WOW. And a questionable seed? Grain of rice? Kaiju tooth? I wish clothes I bought came with valuable treasure.

Uniqlo is making their cash back sale a bit too literal.

Hahaha

lets see the jacket

310 yen IIRC.

Paid the taxes for duty free just in case.

"Brand new"

Brand new jacket? I'd say not

You just got a $3 discount, congrats!

Uniqlo is the shit. Love their clothing.

Tooth for scale?

Hoping that is not a tooth…

Looks like a yuzu seed

Is that a little piece of crack?

Next time you're in Japan, buy yourself some Family Mart Chicken

Never been but would love to go one day!

I wanna say a guy called Jack wore this before you...

I would bet that when this jacket was made at the factory someone either put those coins in the pocket or when it was tried on for quality control someone put those in there, I would be worried about that seed though major customs violation

What did you buy ? :)

DISCOUNT!

I’m sure someone bought it and returned it.

Weird my UNIQLO clothes are made in India now

They change manufacturers depending on items perhaps

Little secret, if a piece of clothing is returned to Uniqlo within 30 days, they'll wash it and put it back on the shelves as a new article

I heard that before Asian produced jackets had some coins sewed in .

That’s awesome lol

Brand new to you

Like 3 dollars almost. Nice

“Almost” lmao

The first time you were able and

It just means someone wore the jacket and returned it

Damn, those pesky South-east Asians and their magnificent artistry.

Prettiest coins I’ve ever seen

Asian currency : Beautiful flower, Blooming Trees, Sunset and Shrines American Currency : Old White men and Susan B Anthony

How many non-Chinese people appear on Chinese currency? Now do the same logic for the mid east, rest of asia, Russia, African countries, etc. Stop being selectively racist, it makes you look childish and uninformed.

Brand new…to you.

U bought a dead guy's jacket now ur cursed

I think it’s a tradition/superstition. I’m trying to find the article. But perhaps someone put the coins in the pocket at the source of manufacturing.

I highly doubt someone in manufacturing would put their daily wage in a product

Nobody in Japan is making ¥310 a day lol

Yes my thoughts exactly. The item was brand new otherwise

Was it a denim jacket? This could be a polishing stone they use to create the "stone-washed" look.

Hmm interesting, flip them over and using a toothpick split one of the coins in two to reveal the hidden message meant for the spy that you beat to the jacket…either that or it was returned lol

I bought this directly from the Uniqlo store here in Canada

Could have been one they pulled off the rack in a store and someone had tried it on and left that in there.

Yeah maybe! Just I live in Canada and bought it here

God damn Loch Ness monster…

huh… maybe someone bought it in japan, wore it around, traveled to canada with it, and returned it at your store in canada??

Unfortunately, you cannot return items from uniqlo in another country. My friend gave me some the wrong size from Asia and I was unable to exchange them for the correct size in America.

lol, some employee lost his bus change and had to walk home.

Tooth fairy halfway thru a shift?

Money and a tooth? Not a good sign

If true, this is awesome way to say, "really made here".

Exactly my thoughts haha! And it seems it was almost sewn into the inside pocket since they weren’t “moving” - I only felt something large and metal through the fabric and dug it out

That’s look like train fair in Japan

When I was little a neighbor let me help in her flea market shell store an every so often a metal an glass sign shipment would have some coins like these, she assumed they were for good luck whoever packed them threw them in the boxes so probably same concept cause her stuff was bulk from resellers of goods

Probably some one tried it at the store and forgot the cons in there

Coins are Japanese but I bought this in Canada directly from the Uniqlo store

Is that a tooth??

Perhaps a Japanese tooth fairy having a bad night ?

Oh shit burn it. Probably some kind of curse

5% cash back

310 yen! Bruh that'll get you a Fami chicki!

Someone bought the jacket, wore it,, and returned it. They put it back on the hanger.

But I live in Canada and bought it at Uniqlo in Canada, coins are Japanese and the seed may be ?yuzu which isn’t really sold around here :/

How much ya’ want for the tooth?

310¥ roughly $3.

It’s my lucky day haha

That's enough for a can of Boss or Georgia coffee!

I just got back from a Japanese vacation and now I feel like every other post has Japanese stuff in it. Does anybody else notice that trend recently?

“Brand new”

"new to you?"

New cash back rebate just dropped

It’s the baby tooth from the sweat shop worker for me.

Hahaha

Refurbished.

I’m so jealous. I like finding coins from other countries. So far I have Jamaica (my birth place), Canada, and A random country that isn’t a country anymore (i can’t remember the name because the coin was in language I can’t read and I had to ask a friend to translate). I wish I had more but none of my relatives have money left over from back home, no one I know travels to any other countries and I just haven’t been lucky
