off rare coins

SHANGHAI: China is preparing to auction off a series of rare coins, some of which date back as far as 770 B.C., official media reports said on Wednesday.

The Shanghai International Commodity Auction group will sell more than 400 gold, silver and bronze coins on April 3, the Xinhua news agency reported.

Money made of cloth produced between 770 B.C. and 221 B.C. will be up for auction as well as gold knife-shaped coins from the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. to 24 A.D).ÑAPP�
