Translation
The set of six kinds of coins engraved with ¡°Heisei 31,¡± released by the Incorporated Administrative Agency, Japan Mint, is enjoying a popularity boom. The mail order system is swamped with orders from all over the country from people who want the set ¡°as a memorial for the last year of the Heisei Era.¡± Some of the sets are already being sold in online auctions. The spokesperson of the agency expressed surprise saying, ¡°We are keenly aware of the high interest.¡±
The set attracting keen interest is the ¡°proof coin set¡± (?7,714, with a year plate). Special processing is applied to the surface, making the pattern sparkle and stand out. Every year around January, Japan Mint releases about 30,000 sets of these coins engraved with the year number, but they have not attracted much attention compared to other memorial coins. This year, as the last of the Heisei Era, the situation has changed completely.
