<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2242324, member: 4373&quot;]There are two coins that caught my interest. </p><p><br /></p><p>First one is the Korean 1/4 yang which is supposedly dated 1898. This is a contemporary counterfeit. However this does not mean that it is worthless. At one stage as the price of nickel fell, it was very profitable to make counterfeit 1/4 yang. The situation got completely out of hand as these managed to circulate for a temporary period until 1901 where circulation of such coins were banned. Still see it going for 10 - 20 dollars easily. Not something that goes in a junk pile. </p><p><br /></p><p>The second coin is the Chinese East Hopei coin, 2 jiao dated 1937. This is a one year type and was not very popular as it was issued under the Japanese occupation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
