Ancient Coin Market Reopens After Facelift

2002/12/01

Beijing's ancient coin market has reopened after a year-long renovation, reported People's Daily. Located north-west of the Second Ring Road, the market is the capital's only specialist coin trade center, offering 20 stalls where coin enthusiasts can sell, exchange or have their collections valued.

The Beijing Museum of Ancient Coins, also at the market, has an ongoing exhibition of 2,000 coins from the past 4,000 years. These are part of its overall collection of almost 10,000 which reflect the diversity of China's ancient currencies.
