Chinese coins were once currency in ancient China, so it makes sense that they represent wealth and abundance. They are considered one of the Eight Treasures along with the pearl, lozenge, stone chime, rhinoceros’s horn, mirror, book, and leaf, which are all symbols of good fortune and prosperity.The three coins represent the prosperity of the three heavens, according to Chinese astrology. Six coins are the symbols of heavenly blessings and nine coins connect nature’s wealth with man. Feng shui suggests that when these coins are offered as gifts on special occasions, both the giver and receiver will turn great riches..
