The 1 JPY coin and (all?) USD bills are 1 gram exactly

Dollar bills are secretly weighted in metric units? Evidence of the Illuminati world government, surely.

The conspiracy is far more vast than you imagine!

Every single customary unit is secretly defined according to the metric system!

Soviet coins were specifically designed with this in mind:

1 kopeck - 1g

2 kopecks - 2g

3 kopecks - 3g

5 kopecks - 5g

(They didn't keep it proportional for 10+ probably because 5g is already a fairly hefty coin.)
