--- Another business in Edo
zenigoza uri 銭蓙売り vendor of mats to place coins
They were made of waste paper 反故紙 (hogogami) in the size of the amount of coins that should be placed on it. Most were made by the ashigaru servants of samurai to make a bit of extra pocket money, not as a full-time job.
It was sold to money changer shops 両替店.
hago 銭筥(はこ)
Money at the shops was never placed directly on the tatami or wooden floor.
Coins were also placed on these mats before putting a string (zeni-sashi 銭さし) through their middle hole in shops that handled a lot of coin money.

sashi-uri 繦売り
string to keep the small coins
a string of cash with 100 coins (or 96 coins and four for a money dealer)
In Edo many people were craftsmen and only a few of them were rich enough to keep a lot of money at home.
The strings were made of twisted straw and were sold by hawkers.
zenisashi uri 銭緡売り vendor of money strings
Some were quite vicious and hang around shops and stores to "force" their owners to buy the string. A lot of senryu have been written about them.
いらぬさし買って酒屋はしずかなり
iranu sashi katte sakaya wa shizuka nari

that were not needed, now the sake shop

He had to keep them in the second floor of his shop and could not accomodate any customers there for a while.
