<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TrungQuocDon, post: 3183672, member: 97349&quot;]The whole point of Wikimedia projects is that they&#039;re free and that anyone who wants to write a catalogue or do additional research can freely use it, heck I used David Hartill&#039;s £ 40,- book for most of the information, to me free knowledge is more important than profit, in fact I&#039;ve seen Yahoo! Finance and plenty of websites use the images I donate to Wikimedia Commons and I don&#039;t think &quot;oh, I could&#039;ve made money off of it&quot; I think &quot;I&#039;m glad that I could help those people in some way&quot;, this list is for collectors like y&#039;all, and for anyone interested in the monetary history of China.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=20616]@frech001[/USER] have you tried David Hartill? He&#039;s kind of the writer of almost every definitive work in Asian cash coins... Well, Dr. Wybrand op den Velde for Korean cash coins, Dr. R. Allan Barker for Vietnamese cash coins, and no English language work on Ryukyuan cash coins exists, but he&#039;s kind of the authoritative figure (in fact he donated half of his book to Wikipedia just for collectors like us). </p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes to cash coins and the internet there used to be many websites but most are gone, I imported literally all of the rest (information-wise) like Gary Ashkenazy&#039;s Primaltrek, Dr. Luke Shepherd Roberts&#039; East Asian Cash Coins, John Ferguson&#039;s Sportstune.com, Etc. To Wikimedia, now Wikimedia is the #2 website as Zeno.ru remains the top website on cash coins. But unfortunately most information is offline so those interested in cash coins are forced to spend money on books, that&#039;s another reason why I wrote that list so people can have a basic understanding of them, but as Wikipedia is not a (cash) coin catalogue I deliberately didn&#039;t add any catalogue numbers, but such numbers are acceptable on the English Wikipedia and would be helpful for numismatists, I just don&#039;t own most catalogues. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
