myfs_89475 Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Dear Cecil, I understand from my friend that "Wudi Coin" (the five emperor coin) is good in enhancing a wealth place is it true?

Looking forward to your reply. Thanks in advanced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted May 15, 2003 Staff Share Posted May 15, 2003 Dear Anon, 1. Often, when coins are used, it is based on the number of coins. 2. I am not sure if there is any `commercial' agenda; but majority of the coins that we buy are often imitation coins or newly minted coins that seem to look like `antique' coins. (Don't be fooled by the greenish colour on these copper coins as it is very easy to `age' the coins) 3. The usual number for a big metal cure are a set of 6 emperor coins each. 3.1. Previously before the internet age, many shops were selling 5 coins. Perhaps their knowledge was essentially that of the popular Five Elements concept of Earth, Metal, Water, Wood and Fire. 3.2. But today, many are exposed to proper Feng Shui, less of such mistakes. Given that #5 represents misfortune/sickness under Flying Star Feng Shui. 3.3. 7 coins were often used in the past. But nowadays unpopular. As 7 represents “weak metal”. Less effective on it’s own if encounter a #5 etc... 4. A true test of commercialisation is: How much does the `special' set of coins costs? 5. In Singapore, mass produced `imitation' coins costs only S$0.30 cents each. (US $0.15cents). 5.1. However, a reasonable purchase price today should be between US 5 cents to US 20 cents per piece for imitation coins. 5.2. Many bought in the internet at 10 cents each is possible. Especially at Chinese online delivery platforms.
