<p>[QUOTE=&quot;d_lairson, post: 330602, member: 8441&quot;]I think lots of people are just normally put off by anything that comes out of china, as well as the fact that most old Chinese coins are cast rather than struck with a hammer of some sort and a little harder to authenticate. I personally love old Chinese coins and try to get my hands on as many as possible, but then again I have a slight bias towards Asian coins and currency for no real reason, I just like them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lots of coin collecting&nbsp; people in western cultures have a bais against chinese coins because of the amount of counterfeit cr*p that comes out of there, which makes it very hard to trust anythng out of china. There is also the language issue. The fact that Roman and later coinage of Europe and the west mainly consists of the Latin alphabet, makes it much more relatable to most western collectors so many do not bother with the amount of work needed to decipher asian or chinese coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
