HANOI, Sept. 24 (Xinhuanet) -- Around 30 kg of ancient Chinese coins have just been discovered in Vietnam's central Binh Dinh province, according to Vietnam News Agency on Friday.

Local construction workers detected the coins, while installinga sewage system in the province's Quy Nhon city recently, the newsagency said.

The coins, believed to belong to China's Song Dynasty (the 10th-13th century), were kept in a wooden box buried two meters underground.

The ancient coins, which are round with a square hole in the center and have embossed script on one surface, are now preserved at the province's museum. Enditem

oooohh.. Coins $$ found! weeee! ..we probably will preserve them in a museaum in Vietnam huh? .... noo no none for us to keep...you likees coins, Nam Quoc Son Ha? hehe

vietnamese use chinese money??

I luvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv money

Definitely will be going to museums for display.

Will you for once think before you write? Those Chinese could have been traders. Vietnam used its own money.

Lol...that just made me laugh out loud.

i know.. it was a joke...

the boy is stupid

hey remember vietnam was conquered by China.. so theres possible for they use chinese money

And what's so funny?

You're owned... and you know it


Anyway, hope the coins will still be in good condition eh?

Yeah the area that used to be Annam would definitely use Chinese currency. :genius:

I wonder how much those coins are worth. $$$.

We got our independence in 938 A.D. dude, and we'd abolished all Chinese currency ASAP.

:genius: ??? Please check your grammar, genius.

.

Please go and learn some history. Vietnam gained independence in 939 AD after the collapse of the Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty came after the Sui, which succeeded the Tang. Vietnam between 1000 and 1400 was a small power, while China was a fat sick man of the east.

Just that I was thinking the same.

maybe thats why we buried the money lol..

Dude, I talked back then when Annam was under Chinese rule. Of course I know independent countries issued their own currencies. But the coin in this thread is ancient Chinese coins. So, it would make sense to talk about it from a historical perspective.

First it's your grammar and now it's your spelling.



Nam Quoc Son Ha, do you have any pictures of what these coins look like?

Dude it's priceless. I'd love to own even just one of those gem though.


The article say it's most likely to date back AS FAR AS the Song Dynasty. Don't think too complicated ok? Your brain might not be able to handle it.

Why check it when AF has a walking grammar checker like you?

Dude, the coins were found in Binh Dinh, a southern-central province of Vietnam. Vietnam's territories from 9th - 14th centuries were at around Da Nang, which is way farther up north than Binh Dinh.

It's standard man, a round coin with a square hole and four Chinese characters.

I don't have much of an imagination.

if china was sick man... i wonder what vietnam would be.. let me see.... maybe be sick dog.... maybe.. sick small d!ck viets... .. maybe sick girlish man...

sorry.. not interest in vietnam's history

Lol...we're turning you into a kulong.

It wasn't meant for you. It's a pity that you think you're more important than you actually are.

Anyway, I've reported you for that offensive comment.

he made me so angry..sorry

Thanx for the link Nam Quoc Son Ha.

u the one start it...

恶人先告状

Dude, you have to remember that Nam Quoc gets very sensitive when people talk about Chinese-Vietnamese relationships.

and he is the one who always start flame first.. and get angry so easily... too much viet pride..

That's the understatement of the year!

Haha, I'm not the one to talk either.

I wasn't angry. I just want the mod to teach you a lesson so you won't be so foul-mouthed next time.

yeah..u was.. u start curse stuff..

i have question.. since u dislike china and chinese so much.. why u use Tai Ji simple??

Nam Quoc Son Ha不是惡人
:genius:

he never said he dislike china and chinese
he said he dislike chinese racist and chinese government

damn man is that too hard to remember

do u know what is 恶人先告状 means??

OK if I offended you I'm sorry. I was simply using the term as a metaphor to describe China as a weak giant. China has never recovered to her former glory since the collapse of the Tang Dynasty. Not until the Manchurian conquest of China in 1644 anyway. The Song Dynasty was characterised by internal weakness and external threats. China was constantly being bullied by the Jin empire and the Liao kingdom. There were many points in history of which China was called the "sick man of the east". Hence my justification for using that analogy.

wow.. impressive.. vietnamese know my country's history better than me...

Temp-banned that dude... [][][][]

He's not full Viet. He's 1/4 Chinese.

Hmmm.... Hy why you temp banned him? I think a warning would have been sufficient for babyface.

awesome!

ooh.. he is 杂种

Do you know how offensive it is what you've just said?



Yeah I don't think babyface should be banned. He/she is kinda funny and entertaining. Very friendly too.

Well, that's usually the case. Seems to me like that the Chinese are often ignorant about many things, including their own history, so they make them up to glorify and exaggerate their culture. So I'm not suprised other people know more about [objective] Chinese history than do the Chinese. My two cents, but worth 0.08 yuans
