Dear Anon,

1. Further to what I had mentioned earlier, this Chinese sword made of coins should not be treated as every day decoration.

2. For example, it is common to say, find the figurines of Fu Lu Shou in many Chinese homes. Usually, 1 out of say 8 Chinese homes may have large or small of this three popular figurines displayed in the home.

3. But, in my opinion, it is extremely rare to find this Chinese sword coin in Chinese homes. Unless, it suddenly become highly commercialised as being able to bring in wealth.

4. Instead, as mentioned in the previous message, unless one's home is haunted or to clear out bad spirits or to ward of evil spirits. If these are not present in a home, there should normally be no specific reason why one must own one. It cannot forever, replace the popular handphone:)

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
