You're not on your own Chris. I only know one way to add things here . I still haven't worked the other ways out.

No gold coins though - was this the set of tombs where they found 2 million copper coins?

Yes I bet they were absolutely gutted about that :D The ancient Chinese didn't have gold coins as such more what we would recognise as hack ;)

I've tried to be interested in ancient Chinese coins, but apart from things like knife and spade money, they all look the same - at least until the 20th century. There do seem to be silver 'teal' boat like 'coins' but I think 99% of those are fake. Maybe one day I'll learn enough to identify their 'cash'.
