Extra information of the cultures in old-time China

Now, I want to continue introducing some extra information of the old-time China(I know a lot about it!),because it seems that some many people are interested in them(The other three Chinese students in our class is excluding).The good things are always extra :)
Q1:some of audience doesn't know how to recognize different worth of the coins.
A1:People recognize them from the sizes or characters.Most characters mean the age which they were made.Of course,the age was the specific time,which a king was taking charging of it at that moment.Old-time China had ever separated into many countries,so there are so many different types of coins.
Q2:How can you get them?
A2:(Especially,I want to warn Lucas.)I think that you can find them in China town,but I'm 99.9% sure that they're not real coins.I don't know why some Chinese like to make imitations and copy the patterns to sell them in order to make money.They're bad behaviors.Even native Chinese don't know if it's a real coin unless you use some advanced technologies to prove it. My suggestion is that you'd better not buy anything if you don't know it's a real one.If you really want to get one,you'd better buy the curio in China,but you will always buy a imitation on the condition that you're a tourist.

(I will show you how you buy a real one...so you won't want to get one...even a native Chinese, either.)

If you buy one,it's possible:
->30% real curio->15% kept in museums

->5% sold(It's expensive),the others aren't discovered or the goverment forbid to dig these.

->70% imitation->You're fooled

#Note (Jose!)The following things are not the dance dragons.They're dance lions.
It's over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ----------THE END-----------
