    The Japanese for "five yen,"
    go en
    (五円) is a homophone
    with
    go-en
    (御縁), "en" being a word for causal connection or relationship, and "go" being a respectful prefix.
    As a result, five-yen coins are commonly given as donations at Shinto shrines
    with the intention of establishing a good connection with the deity of the shrine
