Staff Cecil Lee Posted December 9, 2014 Staff Share Posted December 9, 2014 These are some considerations:1. Usually, coins placement comes from ideas/beliefs and hopes from various cultures.2. For example in Malaysia; while an old Malay house was dismantled; they found a coin on one of the wood foundations. The coin showed the date it was built.3. In the Chinese culture:3.1. There is concept in some Chinese beliefs known of placing "Five-Treasures". Here, "treasures" are placed at each corner of a building + the centrepoint.3.2. There is no hard or fast rule that it has to be a coin or many coins or specific number of coins.3.3. So long as the idea of placing coins the "North, South, East, West and the Centre" or "4 corners of a home plus the centrepoint" is good enough.3.4. So what is this about bronze or brass or gold kind? In fact, what are available are often used.3.5. For information, those Chinese coins with a square hole are usually copper coins. Unless of course these are coins meant for a tourist or "tourism" lead coins.3.5.1. As mentioned under Para 2 above, the coin was actually a British coin. And when they rebuilt the building in another location (which became a museum) the builders out of respect; placed back the same coin; but also added a Malaysian coin of that year. Thus, in the near future, if the building would again be deconstructed; someone else could find the coins which dates back to it's first build and the 2nd coin of the 2nd build.4. For Chinese, in addition, there is a Qing Dynasty consisting of 10 emperior coins ranging from 1644 to the last Qing emperor in 1911. These coins can be placed at the frontage of the house such as the main entrance door.5. Please note that all the coin placement has more do with with an "ART of" ... and there are no right or wrong way or anencyclopedia on such things.6. Thus, I have highlighted especially the idea of the "Five Treasures". Seriously, I would look at each layout plan and if I were to "implement" this; how best to do so = the "art of" .....7. Really, no point asking me: gold, silver, type size weight etc... This is again just "an art of"....

Staff Cecil Lee Posted December 9, 2014 Staff Share Posted December 9, 2014 Further to what I had mentioned:1. Someone has to take a look at the layout plan and try to "incorporate" the theme of an idea e.g. the idea or belief of placing "Five treasures" embedded in the foundation of a new home.2. And the above is based on an "Art" then a science.3. Even when Gordon Ramsay came Asian in his cooking / learning tour; and I believe, it was in Malaysia;3.1. He was introduced to one of the local homemaker. And he was surprised to learn that a recipe or rather most of the recipes are based on a term he learned "Aga Aga".3.2. "Aga aga" in Malay means "roughly".3.3. Thus, for example when making a curry dish, the cook would roughly add various spices and she does not have fixed grams or measure it in a cup etc.. she simply "Aga aga" and adds them according to her taste.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted December 10, 2014 Staff Share Posted December 10, 2014 As I mentioned, in the earlier threads:1. What is more important is to see whether those who have interests in coin placements understand the concept or concepts behind it (them).2. I shared two concepts:-2.1. Placement of the "Five Treasures" - a Buddhist related theme.2.2. Placement of a set of 10 Qing Dynasty coins: Representing the LONGEVITY (Qing Dynasty is one of the longest reigning period in Chinese history) and also the PROSPERITY. (As during this period; generally the country enjoyed prosperity until the last emperor which lasted until 1911.3. In this (of one of the many) home Feng Shui audits that I have done; you can see how Geomancy.net has interpreted and tried to implement these two concepts:3.1. The set of 10 Qing Dynasty coins were placed at the frontage of the home (main entrance) to symbolise the 10 emperors "guarding" and representing both longevity (of household) and prosperity (wealth) for the family members.4. The other concept of placing the Five Treasures were also incorporated in the attachment.5. The other concept of "3 coins". Why 3 coins? In the Five Elements concept: 3 represents wood and the coins represents metal. 5.1 What this means is that "metal destroys wood" to create wealth. 5.2 Thus, just in front of the stove; whenever one "steps on the tiles area" to cook; this implies stepping on wealth. 5.3 Similarly, when one steps into the home and steps on a 3 coins this is also "weatlh".6. In fact, one could even place the Five Treasures each into each of say the individual bedrooms - if one wants to. Again, there is no hard or fast rule.7. In many instances; in the past and even today, some people; simply randomly scatter coins onto their uncompleted floors. As opposed to the orderly method as shown in the attachment. Don't ask me whether this is better or not so good etc... Your call. And there is no right or wrong, here! Because, the idea has been achieved! That of "placing" coins or wealth into one's home.
