I gathered Japanese coins using a certain simple rule, which generated 353100 yen which consists of 149101 coins. This composition table tells the rule: every means should be taken to indicate each sum from 1 yen by one 1-yen coin to 100 yen by one 100-yen coin. For example, 5 yen is indicated by one 5-yen coin, or, by five 1-yen coins.
