This actually reminds me of the time I had trouble paying for my ride on the Hiroshima tram prior to Suica/Pasmo being accepted on it.
Didn't have coins beside 500y and didn't have a Paspy card.. I assumed the machines at the front had the change dispenser like the buses in Hokkaido but they didn't so I had to ask the attendant to break the 500y into 5x100y which almost made me miss my stop.
