The sign that is used for OK in the United States (a thumb and an index finger form a circle, other fingers are stretched out) means “money” in Japan.
For most English-speaking countries, the Ok gesture of America denotes permission, agreement, and that everything is fine. In Japan, the one-handed ring expression is used to represent money, and the circular shape of the fingers represents a coin. The sign is sometimes used to avoid verbal awkwardness when discussing or requesting money. In other contexts, it may imply a bribe or other illegal financial transactions, or it may indicate an open invite to enter into business negotiations.
In other parts of the world, the sign can also be used to express money, banking transactions, wealth, or the cost of an item.
