<p>[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3146022, member: 78244"]Chinese coins were the same way. I bought a hoard of Wu Zhus that was lost in the Nanjing River in the 500’s. In it I found a Ban Liang minted before 120 BC. In another Ming Dynasty hoard buried sometime during/after the reign of YongLe (1402-1424), I found many Kai Yuan Tong Baos from the Tang Dynasty, which were in use for 500-800 years by the time they were buried. I saw a picture onf a South Song shipwreck hoard from 1180 or so, and there were Wu Zhus, which had been circulating for 600-1300 years by the time the coins were lost.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a picture of a hoard excavated in Java.
