From Wikipedia: The White Rose of York (also called the Rose alba or rose argent), a white heraldic rose, is the symbol of the House of York and has since been adopted as a symbol of Yorkshire as a whole.
You might have heard of the Wars of the Roses. The House of York was the white rose, House of Lancaster was the red rose.
I hadn't either but put two and two together. It looked like a heraldic symbol. And I knew war of the roses was UK, so a city starting with Y in the UK
but still, not too many known places starting with y , regardless of the UK connection
1-yen coins are so ridiculous. They're (usually) worth less than a penny, and they feel like they're made out of plastic. Unfortunately there are still a lot of places in Japan where you need to use cash, so you end up acquiring a ton of them :(
