Massive Hoard of Ancient Chinese Coins Found

Workmen recently recovered an ancient kiln used to store over three tons of Chinese copper cash coins dating back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279). For more, see

So much for any claim that Chinese coins are culturally significant items.

And more evidence that the State Department was way off base when it declared somewhat earlier ones so for purposes of justifying a MOU with China that effectively bans their legal import.
