You can shower someone with them and still be giving next to nothing.

 

It's a cheap currency you can use to avoid having to think about what else you could give that might be more appropriate for what you received.

Remember this the next time you are incredibly appreciative or eternally grateful for something someone did.

 

Words are cheap. Are you saying it for them or for you?

1 Yen = 1 American/Canadian Cent

 

Why don't you just say cents, huh?

Because cent is not a currency.

My currency converter says it's about right.

1 US Dollar (USD) = 102,387 JPY

As someone who likes to show direct politeness, I disagree with this.
Words are more powerful than you give credit to. Words have impact. Even something as simple as a genuine "Thank you" to the person serving you coffee can brighten up their day. I know this, because I work in retail. You remember the people who respond positively to your assistance.

It's about what you are saying or doing. It's the fact that you are doing something positive that's important. I can't exactly hand gifts out to every person I serve.

You are missing half of what I wrote and thus the point.

My wording was quite deliberate.
