Almost 350 year old Chinese coin found in New Jersey

26 Apr 2016

I was hunting one of the beaches here in New Jersey when I found a coin I had never seen before. I threw it in the pouch and decided to look when I got home. I got home and saw it was a Chinese coin. After some research and asking some guys who spoke Chinese I found out it was a Qing Dynasty for Emperor Kangxi minted between 1667-1675. I was floored to find something that was made 100 years before the USA became its own country and for the fact of how did an almost 350 year old Chinese coin end up on a beach in New Jersey
