    Well, there were free tables at the flea market today, and I picked these up. I did not clean them...does anyone know a possible age and what monetary amount the coins represent? Thanks. 20210620_202654.jpg 20210620_202716.jpg

    Cash coins, there are millions of them.

    Used in China and East Asia from 4th century BC up until 20th century.

    You would not live long enough trying to find a rare one.:hilarious:

    They would look nice for a charm bracelet I think.

    I thought of making them into jewelry. The Chinese characters are beautiful. Earrings, a bracelet, pendants.

    Gorgeous! I only have the five coins. I would make something for me or put them in a baggie for a yard sale.

    Thank you for the offer, but I am not good with crafts. I think many foreign coins have beautiful characters, script, and images.
