Description

As part of new year celebrations, coins are supposed ot represent good fortune.

The Chi Trinity

coins grouped in threes - a linked string or cluster of three, six or nine coins. Three is the trinity symbol for blessings or luck for heaven, earth, and people. Six, a multiple of lucky three, means heavenly energy. Nine is the number of completion - the last single digit before the numbers begin again with 1 - 0. Feng shui coins are typically connected with red ribbon or cord, red being the most high-energy, auspicious color and a prosperity symbol.
