<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1835625, member: 4373&quot;]Think I have heard stories similar to this in Vietnam and China. </p><p><br /></p><p>Old Vietnamese and Chinese cash coins were &quot;mined&quot; in terms of hundreds of kilos, if not tonnes and over the years, sources of such hoard have greatly dimished. They are normally found by farmers in the field. </p><p><br /></p><p>So what do you think they have become? Scrap metal of course. As most of them have corroded beyond recognization or were melted down due to lack of care factor - the only way to counter this is to offer prices that are better than melt. </p><p><br /></p><p>Far enough, it is demand that drives up such activities but at the same time - a lot of times are people who are living on the edge and any extra cash that they can get is something they will not miss. Do they know much about coins? Yes, but only current currency, not ancients. Education is the key here. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sure enough, you can always talk about laws etc but personally laws cannot cover all activities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
