Modern Chinese coins are fun. They're made of a very light aluminum alloy. Literally they would blow away in a strong wind.

We used to play a game as kids during birthday parties. Take a bucket and draw a circle on the bottom in marker. Then fill the bucket with water. (Or maybe a drowning mouse and pee and bleach. Depending.) Kids then take it in turns to drop a Chinese coin into the water and try to get it to rest inside the circle you drew.

The coins were so light they flipped and flopped plenty of times on the way down. Even releasing the coin directly over the circle was no guarantee of it landing directly beneath.


Old Chinese coins are fun too. They're the ones with the square hole in the middle so you can stack them up and carry them on a piece of string. David Copperfield did a trick in his Chinese tour where he took an American quarter and managed to make a chopstick magically go through one side and out the other. Then a local Chinese greybeard picked up his Chinese coin with the hole and did the same thing. Copperfield took it in good humor.

I don't care. Different denominations should be different colors AND different sizes. USA bank notes are a real pain for tourists, they all look the same and you end end up with a pocket of mainly $1 notes that you have to sort through. Why is such a small denomination still in note format?

I don't use a wallet. I end up with a mass of paper in my pocket that will just about buy me a McDonalds.

I'm glad you all like them.

Designed by a Welshman and minted in Wales, it's only natural.

The harp is so Irish. David Lloyd George was a piece of ****. the British maintained total military superiority and should have held the line until those bastard rebels had been put down.
