In 1981, China began minting coins to commemorate the Chinese New Year.

bigjarofwasps Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Interestingly it appears that these coins are not a readily available as one might think. I just had to buy one from the US as no dealers in the UK seemed to have any, and Ebay (UK) was a blanck as well, but if you do collect silver dollars, I fully recommend these beautiful coins!! :jumping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
