Will try to find the time to look up if I can find any specifics. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 10/10/2014 7:45 pm Correct. More specifically, it's an "eight trigrams" charm. The Eight Trigrams are a Taoist symbol; you can see four of the eight on the current South Korean flag. The four characters on the obverse read (in Chinese) "fu cai tong bao", translating to "good luck and wealth current coin". No actual Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Vietnamese coin bore this legend, as far as I am aware. 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

The inscription on this charm actually reads zhao cai jin bao (æ‹›è²¡e€²å¯¶) which can translate as "money and treasures will be plentiful" or "attracts wealth and treasure".
