Imagine a 'coin' with a 'kai' (sounds like 貨幣 'kahei') symbol on it — 'Kai-coin' for currency! 'Kai' → 貨幣 (kahei, 'money, currency, coinage').
Cultural Note
In Japan, 『貨幣』 (kahei, 'money, currency, coinage') includes coins like 『一円玉』 (ichien dama, '1-yen coin') and 『五百円玉』 (gohyaku en dama, '500-yen coin'), which are commonly used in vending machines and for small purchases. The term is more formal than 『お金』 (okane, 'money').
