Feng Shui coins differ from ordinary Chinese currency in that they have no value on them as currency. They don't use Arabic numbers so you have to know the Chinese numbers to see if there is a denomination on the coin on either side. The exception to this rule is when the coins are used for any celebration for a departed person. Coins and banknotes are sent with them to heaven or hell, whichever way they are going.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Well then what I discovered years back was Chinese coinage . And seeing as the photo submitted was so small it's hard to tell if they are Feng Shui coins . Did you mean they're not valuable now ? Cause they are probably not . And if they have numbers they were spendable at one time in China or there wouldn't have been etches on mine for no reason . They still could have been carried and exchanged by those workers between themselves or carried to bury there dead when they were brought here . If they weren't maybe you can clearly explain why so many are found in different locations in the US . Happy Trails , Woodstock

Nobody can give you an answer about the velue just from some pictures. Even ancient Chinese coins are not worth a great deal. There's just so many of them. Try eBay and see what I mean.

Well I've known that for years now , basically worthless . They are more for looking at an talking about than selling . I've tried lots of time to try to find out what dynasty mine were dated but that damn near impossible . But they are neat anyway's !
Nice Finds never the less ! Woodstock

This website should help you identify the coins and about the age:

I' have found many of these in California and was able to identify them.
