I've gotten lucky on eBay before. I got 50x 100 yen coins for less than the exchange rate at the time. Worth a shot anyway.

Price is a little high but at least they're in the US:

Seems to take offers and has 7 lots available.

Why don't you go on a local exchange shop?
Those usually only do foreign bills, not coins
I don’t think I have ever seen an exchange shop that deals with coins (would be nice though) 
my other alternative would be to modify the coin acceptor to accept Taito tokens (they “Look” very similar, so modification should be easy) and they are cheaper (100 repro tokens for less than 50€)

I had luck at a local currency exchange who I informed I wanted 100 yen coins. They had some on hand and also put up a sign in their store. Ended up with over 100 coins over a month.
They seemed more than happy to do it for me. YMMV.

asked the banks and here in germany they generally don't get yen coins unfortunately - i went the anycoin/Repro-token route

I couldn't find any banks or exchanges that did Japanese coins last I tried.

Damn I just came in this thread cause I need coins....I don't want to say i'm down for the japanese tinder scam.......but
$70 isn't all that bad once you take into account the fees and shipping costs.
- ¥5,000 is currently about $47 as of July 22.
- Looks like they use a a Small Flat Rate Box to ship via USPS Priority Mail which adds $8.30.
- eBay fee is $7.
- PayPal fee is just over $2.
The seller is making a profit of just over $5 selling 50 ¥100 coins at $70. I guess it just highlights how awful eBay is for sellers and buyers alike.
