Dennis Sambroak New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 9:51 pm I have what I believe is a Chinese or Japanese coin. It is made from rock/stone of some sort, and seems to have some some white coating on the outside. The closest symbol I can match is a 6 in the Chinese 1-10, but it's not an exact match. It may not even be a coin. If anybody has any ideas, as I've been stumped. I just want to know what it is, or if anybody has every seen something like it. Thank you.

I would say you're right that it's not a coin - I don't see any indication of country or denomination - but exactly what it is, I dunno. Report this Post to the Staff

The character in the first photo means "square", which doesn't make much sense to me. Her English is very limited; so, I couldn't get a good translation for the second photo but it seems to be a phrase for good luck. The object was probably used for some sort of adornment.

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
