Money requests are part of the visit
Kin-un is the money-and-business category: keeping an enterprise running, collecting money that is owed, or asking for a household to remain secure. The entries below do not all mean the same thing by money luck, so use the place's own account rather than a generic promise of wealth.
Three different ways the sites frame money
Mikane Jinja begins with metal. Its official account describes Kanayamahiko as the kami of metals, mines and minerals; gold and silver are the older association, while finance, securities, investment and business are later ways visitors bring the request. The shrine also says that washing coins in its purification basin is not a form of worship it sets out. Do not import a coin-washing routine from a video.
Koami Jinja does document a different money-related practice: purify money in the well water and keep it in your wallet. That is Koami's own instruction, not a rule for every shrine in this category. Its entry is also tagged for warding off misfortune, which is why the shrine's account joins money and protection rather than treating them as separate worlds.
At Fushimi Inari, the official FAQ connects torii offerings with a wish passing or having passed, and describes the dedication as a sign of gratitude. This is an account of religious practice, with no guarantee that money or business will improve. The torii dedication page gives application terms and prices.
