Subject:feng shui coin
Posted By: Mike Fri, May 08, 2015 IP: 73.18.99.65 I have recently purchased what I think is a Chinese feng shui coin. I think it might be considered kitsch, but I thought it looked cool. |

Posted By: rat Sat, May 09, 2015 not feng shui related per se, just a decorative object with the good wishes as you've translated cast as a coin. the text is mostly covered by your coin but starts on the right in columns with "Ancient currency is a national treasure of China." It's basically an enthusiastic caption, not a story or explanation of what this particular coin is. |

Posted By: Bill H Sat, May 09, 2015 Sorry, but my X-ray vision just failed me. No problem though, this "coin" is contemporary gift shop fare in Hong Kong, Taipei and other Asian destinations. A token of friendship that someone might give a friend who's about to start a long or momentous journey. A way of expressing a wish of "Bon voyage!" in Chinese. |
