Many people like to visit flea markets, but not everyone can “find treasures.” Some netizens shared that one day a colleague from Australia took out a coin with Chinese characters on it and said, “This is a treasure I found at a flea market.” He wanted to ask the original PO to help identify it. However, upon closer inspection, he discovered that the coin was not an antique at all, but a token with “XX Golf Course” written on it. Seeing this, everyone laughed and said, “Maybe to foreigners, old-looking currency with Chinese characters on it is an antique,” and “Tell him this is a currency that only modern wealthy people in Taiwan can have.”

A netizen isFacebook groups“Little Waste Club” shared that one day he was pulled aside by an Australian colleague. The other person mysteriously took out a coin from his pocket, his eyes flashed with excitement, and said to the original PO: “This is what I was doing at the flea market. The treasures unearthed must be very valuable. Can you help me find out which dynasty in China this copper coin belongs to?” Unexpectedly, the original PO felt embarrassed following taking a closer look. He also attached a photo of the “ancient copper coin”, and saw that the hollow coin in the picture said “XX Golf Course”. It turned out that such a “rare treasure” did not live in an exotic country. Antiquities, but golf course tokens.

After the post was exposed, it caused heated discussions. Netizens laughed and said, “Maybe to foreigners, the old coins with Chinese characters on them are considered antiques”, “There is a hole in the middle”, “No, how might this coin end up in Australia?” ?”, “It’s cute that you can buy the wrong one with fakes”, “Fortunately, it’s not passed down directly to future generations as family heirlooms”, “Australian colleague: I understand the truth, but why do you have holes in the middle of your tokens”, “ Reminds me of the time when a foreigner picked up a toy banknote on the roadside (actually it was paper money with Tenjin Bank written on it) and brought it to me and told me to take it to the police station…”

Some people even teased, “Tell him this is a currency that only rich people in modern Taiwan can own.” “You can tell it’s from the Shang and Zhou dynasties just by looking at it.” “Tell him this is a money sword used by a generation of ghost-catching masters.” “It dropped.” “This is a golf course token with an annual fee of one million. It is impossible for people without VIP status to own it.” “Tell him that owning this coin is equivalent to owning a golf course! It is priceless.”
