Answer 2

3 I Ching Coins tied with Red Ribbon

I Ching Coins have been used for centuries as amulets to ward off evil and disease, they were often worn by children (one coin added each year until the age of 15) after being first placed on a deity for blessing i.e. Laughing Buddha, Quan Yin. In Feng Shui coins represent the element metal and symbolize Wealth These 3 coins tied with red thread should be placed in the wealth sector, or placed on accounts books, a cash register, in a purse or wallet to attract wealth Three coins are used to read the I Ching, by naming one side Yin and the other side Yang and reading from the trigrams for ancient advice on how to improve and harmonize ones life. Remember to keep your 3 I Ching Coins tied with red ribbon in your pockets, income telephone lines accounts books, savings books etc.

Answer 3

Chinese Coins are a great symbol of wealth, for they represent abundance. Place three (or multiples of 3) regular Chinese Coins tied together with a red ribbon in your purse or desk to attract money. Bury three coins in a bamboo or other healthy houseplant and place it in your wealth sector to activate growth in your finances. Smaller sized coins can be tucked into Chinese lucky envelopes and placed on mantles, door frames, in drawers, checkbooks, or purses. Larger coins make a lovely display piece placed in your wealth area, and may be beautifully combined with crystals to create your own personal wealth cure.
