fnd1234 Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 1:21 pm I was given this years ago by a friend who found it in a drawer. I don't know if it's a coin, token, etc. It's very light. Report this Post to the Staff

John Paul Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 1:25 pm That looks more like at token to me than a coin, but I expect someone will be along soon who will know for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 3:31 pm It's a replica of a Chinese cash coin. Genuine examples are extremely common (they had almost no purchasing power and were made by the billions), but fakes exist as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16884 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 11:38 pm Correct; it's a modern "Feng Shui" replica of a Chinese cash coin of the early 1800s. The dots all over the front of the coin are supposed to simulate the rough surface of genuine cash coins, which were cast in fine sand. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
