I just received a set of Chinese coins for an ambitious coin routine and I was just curious, does anyone know what the Chinese coins like these sold in magic shops actually say on them?

Yes, that's what I mean. I thought that was pretty clear.

Ok, I've found a place online to identify the symbols. So if anyone in interested, here are the characters (in no particular order).
重 - Strong, Weight 乾 - See 寶 - Treasure 隆 - Grand Edit: More information. It is read like this. 乾隆 - Qian Long, name of the 6th emperor of the Qian dynasty. 通宝 - Tong Bao, meaning "circulating treasure" aka money.

Thank you I alway wondered and my hope was that the symbols does have some real meaning to avoid having a skilled person looking at them and say "wait a second, are you sure about THIS !!!???" (or something similar)
