Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 07:08 am Hello and welcome. It's a modern machine-made "good luck charm", not a genuine cash coin. The bubbly dimples all over the background surfaces on both sides is an attempt to re-create the porous cast surface of a genuine cash coin. 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

Yes, it is a modern Chinese charm with the inscription zhao cai jin bao which translates as "attracts wealth and treasure" and means money and treasures will be plentiful. The reverse side has a dragon on the left and a phoenix on the right. There also exists old Chinese charms displaying the same four Chinese characters cleverly combined into one character.
