There's a business hotel up near the main train station that has a set of four capsule dispensers out front. One has replicas of things representing Japan (mostly boring tourist trap stuff), while the other three have real coins. The machine above has old coins that used to circulate in Japan, but have been devalued.
The left one above has more recent commemorative coins, and the right has world coins. All are real coins, but they're not worth anything, instead being pushed as "lucky talismans." 200 yen apiece (about $1.80 USD).
