    Approximately 200,000 coins dating from the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127 AD) were recently unearthed in an old well in eastern China.

    Gary,

    Very interesting story. I'm a Chinese student and love extending my collecting hobby to Chinese/Taiwanese coins and currency. I found your website very interesting and hope you keep adding to it!

    谢谢!
