willieboyd2 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 The article refers to a prohibition of importing ancient Chinese coins, not modern Chinese counterfeits of US coins. "Under the new rules, anyone entering the U.S. with such coins must have a valid Chinese export certificate or certifications proving the coins left China before the effective date of the new rule (January 16, 2009)".

Scottishmoney Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 An awful lot of the "ancient" Chinese coins are in fact modern fakes anyway - so a lot of good such rules will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 An awful lot of the "ancient" Chinese coins are in fact modern fakes anyway - so a lot of good such rules will do. Amen. I'm considering boycotting Chinese food as a protest. I'll only eat Thai instead. The sacrifices I make for numismatics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sacrifices I make for numismatics... A lot of the "Chinese" food you eat in America is more American creation than Chinese. I learned this in China, they don't have much like what we call "Chinese" food there. But Thai is a nice alternative too. Pad Thai is a favourite.
