About & symbolism
Chinese fortune coins, also called I-Ching coins, are a long-standing feng shui symbol traditionally believed to invite prosperity and good luck. The round shape represents heaven, while the square center hole represents earth — together symbolizing balance and the flow of positive energy. They're a familiar sight in feng shui practice, often tied together with red string or displayed near an entryway.
How to place it
Many people tuck a coin into a wallet or cash box, hang a set of three near the front door, or add one to a money tree or altar. In feng shui tradition, the coin's character-side-up placement is thought to activate its symbolism, though there's no single "correct" way — home placement is ultimately a matter of personal intention.
Care
This coin is a bronze-tone metal alloy, so keep it dry and wipe it occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to prevent tarnish. Avoid prolonged moisture exposure or harsh cleaners, which can dull the finish.
