This is set in Japan... He wants to pay for the apple which is marked a 100yen... he gives her 100 yen and she says, "It's 105 yen after tax".. The whole trick was trying to get the extra 5 yen to pay for the apple as he says he has no more money.. The box is a charity box and he fishes 5 yen out of it using "magic"... The sales assistant is a t**t who (rather than being impressed by his magic) says she can't accept the money because he stole it from the box. His answer, convert the small change in the box to large denomination notes - in exchange for the apple.... and finally... my point --> 5 yen coins are a light copper or brass coin with a WHOLE IN THE MIDDLE !!!
