<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4585900, member: 19463"]This link covers the question as I understand it. Start with the paragraph that begins 'Curtis Clay'. I see the Trajan restorations as rather like I see the Renaissance Paduans. There was a demand for old coins by people unable to find the real thing so some were made to satisfy the need. Most of us would not be satisfied with such things and might put these down as medals or tokens. The majority of people in the world would not be able to tell or care about the difference. Another more recent example is the modern production of Chinese cash for use by people interested in ceremony rather than numismatics. I prefer old ones but I, and most of you, are strange in our tastes by worldwide standards.</p><p><a href="https://fengshuibeginner.com/feng-shui-coins-significance-and-uses/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://fengshuibeginner.com/feng-shui-coins-significance-and-uses/" rel="nofollow">https://fengshuibeginner.com/feng-shui-coins-significance-and-uses/</a></p><p><img src="https://fengshuibeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Feng-Shui-Coins-Significance-and-Uses.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Theirs are cleaner and you get ribbon.
